At the end of each month's discussion, we pick a book to read for the discussion 2 months after that. So at January's meeting, we will pick March's book, at February's meeting, April's book, and so on.
We attempt to select books by consensus, and failing that, vote, with all votes for losing books tallied and applied to the next month's vote.
Below are some ideas fo readings people have suggested on the thread on the main page, and in discussion.
Please add your ideas for readings to this list in the comments!
Thanks,
Steve
