>Do every exercise in the book
Is this a meme? I have never actually worked through every exercise in a textbook, but for Hartshorne I am seriously considering it.
what do you mean by 'is this a meme?'
Lrn2meme fgt pls
Let's have a reading group, just post exercises here and people will work through them

That never seems to work, but if anyone is actually I interested I will be starting with Chapter 2 this weekend.

Yeah... That being said, it costs virtually no effort to make a thread and post some exercises. When you do get there, don't hesitate to make a thread, I'm sure there will be some people interested (I know I am).
The people who do every exercise either have a solution manual or they do it wrong. You should chose wisely for learning leaving the chugg and plug ones for practice.

just make a hartshorne general
there are some sets of solutions to certain chapters posted online if you ever get really stuck or think there might be a mistake in the question
otherwise it never hurts to post solutions for criticism, or when you need help, or want to generalize something etc... just don't hesitate to also use stackexchange and similar sites

It's a meme in calculus texts when you have 450 "differentiate this function" problems at the end of a chapter
When you're reading a graduate/upper undergrad text and you only have page or two of varied exercises per subsection you have no excuse not to do 95%+ of the problem set

I was referring problems that are operetional in nature.
It depends on the book.
In Lang's Basic mathematics, doing the exercises is like half of the point. There are certain things taught by doing the exercises that you would not get from just reading the book.
