Given the very positive (overall) comment, email, and Twitter response to my idea of bringing back the “book club” idea for a handful of books, along with many similar suggestions for it, I’m going to follow the crowd with most of those suggestions. Here’s how I’m going to try it. First, the book I’m going to read through for the first book club is The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. I think it can inspire a lot of strong discussion and matches the theme of The Simple Dollar quite well. I plan on writing two entries a week on The Total Money Makeover , spread out over about six weeks. They will appear on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The first one will appear on Wednesday, July 1. The entire goal is to move slowly through the book, discussing the ideas in it in more detail than could be done in a single post and trying to hit some good discussion points on specific ideas that might generate some controversy/discussion. It will be more imbued with my own take on the material than the typical book review – I’ll mostly quote a bit from the book, then go off on that specific point. If this works – and I think it will – I’ll follow it up in September or October with Never Eat Alone , then later with Getting Things Done
