I wouldn't mind; there are some interesting titles on that list we compiled. At this point, I'm out of ideas on how to boost participation. It really seems like the biggest issue is variations in reading speed, followed by remembering to actually read the book. I get that people have stuff going on though. Especially you student types.

That said, I am in the middle of reading something, but if deciding on what to read takes even half as long as it has in the past, it shouldn't pose a problem.

I'm in the middle of this; ditto.

Nice. Any good? I'm reading this. I'd heard about it in college and then never really learned any more about it, but given my current goals, it's a great thing to learn about.

Oh, about the guys that won the Nobel in economics a few years ago, right? That seemed like a really interesting story, I'll have to take a look.

Secret War is interesting, probably biased but I haven't gotten too far yet. He writes with clarity.

I was actually unaware of that, but yes. I guess that just goes to show how limited my awareness of the topic is.

Oh it was a Peace prize. = The catch-all Nobel for best charity worker. Neat idea though.
