my TUP book club at work took about 2 weeks between meetings and did a full section at a time. it was a lot to remember and talk through. the approach you are taking sounds more manageable.

We've read 20 books in 4+ years so I guess we average about 6 weeks per book.

Can you describe the format of the meetings? How many participants? How do you structure them? Has someone typically read the book first and then suggests it to the rest of the team? We just created our first SRE position, and this was the tactic we had considered to work through the SRE role and identify the cultural and process changes that would be required to achieve the desired end results.

Hi, Ben. I guess the format is a type of open seminar but everyone is on equal footing as we usually select a book no one has read. Meetings range between six and twelve participants. People volunteer to write up chapter summaries which we publish centrally along with our key take-aways, passages we liked, links to other references, etc.

Thanks.
