Hello everynyan, we're reading This Soviet World.

Week 3 we are reading Chapter 3: "The Dictatorship."

EPUB, a link to a PDF, and online reading options, can be found on Comrade's Library. If you find problems with the EPUB tell me and I will fix it. Dessalines has made an audio book.

Agree with Cowbee, Mondays are great. I’ve kept up with the reading, just need to distill my thoughts and post. All that to say, the ping list keeps me on track. Commenting later in the week still has the same issues of less people seeing it, maybe an end of week ping to close out the last weeks thread? So the readers can have a reminder to pop back, read comments and potentially post. Might be too much pinging for some though. I would also be down to increase to two chapters a week, but the one chapter a week is low commitment which might be crucial to some currently reading. Hard to say. Thanks for staying on top of the book club! Really think these are the best part of hexbear.
