Books are just pieces of paper. They only add value when read by a person and add even more value discussed as by a group of people and add substantially more value when discussed by a group of highly competent people with experience.
Anyone gifted with vision and a brain can do the first option, it's even somewhat easy to do the second, but the third is really hard to pull off. HBS provides this at staggering cost (plus credentialing and a network) but surely someone can figure out how to replicate the case experience much more easily?
I am actually working on something like that right now, a place for book readers to discuss the books they have read, are reading, and/or are interested reading. My goal is for it to be a great place for discourse on books and a great place to find new books. I'll be launching my MVP within the next month.

Glad you like it! :) Were you able to sign up? I just looked back at my old comment and saw that I forgot to add a hyperlink (my mistake!). Sorry about that if it caused any trouble!
