Hi Everyone! I started this meetup because there are so many books I want to read, and I think that discussing them with others will make it more fun, challenging, and fulfilling. My academic background is in Philosophy and Anthropology . . . but there is so much more to discover! This is a meetup for people who love learning and thinking about the world around them: sociology, history, philosophy, evolution, primatology, cognitive science, cultural studies, biographies, political science, current events, etc.

Our group usually meets every 6 to 8 weeks, giving everyone enough time to digest the book. Our discussions are for members who have read the book. That way we can carefully analyze what we have read, ask questions, and discuss our different points of view. My hope is that we engage in rigorous discussions. But please be respectful of other people's ideas. Let's challenge each other while having fun! :)
