Step-In

Each day's reading has its own discussion space. This is your place to reflect, ask a question, or respond to something that stayed with you.

We begin with a Chatstart—a short line offered by a reader to get you thinking. It's simply a starting point.

Keeping the conversation connected to each day's reading preserves the rhythm of the 80-day journey and allows the discussion to unfold over time.

Free. Step in. You'll be asked for your email if you'd like to join the conversation.

Some readers comment often; others simply follow along.
