I look forward to my Book Club Zoom meeting, which I host nearly every Saturday morning. It has become a part of the rhythm of my week, these last five years. We’ll be finishing up our thirty-third book this week, moving on to number 34 next. But I’ve also started using AI tools to summarize what went on in each one to two hour session, which has been a helpful way to review what we discussed in each one and visit the timestamps to jump back in.

Here’s a link to the very first set of book club meetings, in which we discussed David Graeber and David Wengrow’s book, The Dawn of Everything. A lot of people participated in that one, from all over the world. So many that I split the discussions into two groups that met at different times to accommodate people’s time zones. As a result, there’s some duplication in what is discussed in each session — an additional reason the summaries are useful. I’ll be posting all of the book clubs on zibaldone.net in this format, so go ahead and visit if you haven’t yet and bookmark the site!
