Things to notice

  • the chapter titles are refreshingly descriptive ๐Ÿ˜€
  • we've moved two sessions by a week to dodge the 6th of December. Make sure you make a note in your calendars (see below), to not miss any session.
  • we did not dodge the 14th of February.
  • we're not discussing any reading in the first session; the reading and discussions start only in the second session.
  • there's a lot of reading for the last session. We could have dealt with those questions in chunks, but it would have lengthened the club unsustainably.

Finally, we have generated the .ics files for you. These are ways to automatically add all the sessions to your calendar. Just download and open them with your favorite calendar app. There are three of them: the first, the second, and the third.
