I'd like to join the reading group as well, hoping to be able to stick with it.
Add me to the list! I was so desperate to talk to someone about this book when I first read it that I was blabbing to all my friends
and my axe!
Is this a request to be added to the list?

Sure!
I'd be interested in joining.
Uhhh.
Okay so I looked at this library and it has Carl Madsen. And hey I like that guy,
But his works aren't translated into English, and while I know this place has a significant Danish population tbat seems... uhhh, problematic? I mean I guess we can go with home translations by users. But if they're incomplete we will have some users able to read the full work and others only catching individual chapters, or worse parts of chapters.
It's three chapters from his book the Good Doctor, translated by SoyViking

Yeah that's connected to that last part. It's chapters disconnected from the rest of the book and translated ad hoc. Would the book club translate the rest of the book or go solely with what was decided by the translator as pertinent? It is a 24 chapter book. Would you in other cases read solely chapters 9, 21 and 22?
It's not a terrible crime or anything, it just seems less than ideal. I'm not trying to indict anyone. This isn't menst to be an attack. It just doesn't seem ready to be on the reading list.
I wasn't thinking of having the group read that book. The library isn't a reading list, it's my project making EPUBs

My bad for misunderstanding the idea then. Sorry.
We'll probably read more books from ComLib, especially if this initial book is successful. We probably won't be reading every book on it, however.
It's starting out quite successfully. I was just imagining a few people, we have 34 participants!

I figured it'd do well! This Soviet World is a commonly recommended but under-read book, plus Hex hasn't had a reading group in a while. Seems like the right content, right place, and right time! Though we should expect a good many to drop after the first few weeks, as happens with most reading groups (or less comments and more passive participation, which is also good).
I'd like to participate please
yes please
I haven't read that one, sign me up!
I might not be too active in the discussions of each chapter though, depending on what time they take place.
I think you just post in the thread when you have read the chapter so no specific time.

i like the special edition trans rights cover 🏳️⚧️
Oh, there's an audiobook by Dessalines on YouTube. That makes it much easier for me. I'm in!
I know how to read 
so I'll give it a shot
I'm interested in joining.
The previous books I've read from Anna Louise Strong were very insightful.
What's the length of the book?
edit: Paperback is 170 pages, so not bad.
16 chapters long. With around 3500-4500 words in each chapter.

Yeah, not bad! I think I'll try and join.
I love a reading group, count me in
I would love to do a book club. Do we have any schedule yet?
Okay I just saw it’s a chapter a week. That sounds good to keep engaged.
I'm thinking of doing a chapter a week, starting next week (with that one including the introduction)

Count me in
I'm in, I struggle to stay engaged with books but I picked up When Serfs Stood up in Tibet and couldn't put it down again until it was done
I would like to join 
, I've had Strong's This Soviet World on my backburner for a while.
Sign me up!
I will join!
I took part in previous reading group on here and lost interst after a few weeks and felt bad every week that my backlog grew 
I think I'll try again tho
I'll say, This Soviet World is quite an easy read. And if you lose interest, that's the way it is.
