Publish a list of books they would be willing to discuss with other people to the open web. Antilibraries – collections of books you haven't read yet but would like to read – are particularly well suited to this proposition.
See which books people in their social network want to discuss, and/or subscribe to other people's lists
Be notified when 4+ people in their network have the same book on their discussion list – possibly via an email thread?
Coordinate and schedule a time to read and discuss the book with that group.
Stripe partners with millions of the world’s most innovative businesses. These businesses are the result of many different inputs. Perhaps the most important ingredient is “ideas.”

Between the Words is an exploration of visual rhythm of punctuation in well-known literary works. All letters, numbers, spaces, and line breaks were removed from entire texts of classic stories...leaving only the punctuation in one continuous line of symbols in the order they appear in texts.
