Hey everyone, My name is David, and I am 22 year old recent graduate from American University. I am taking a year off school in order to apply to law school for Fall 2012. I wanted to start this group in order to find others out there who like to read non-fiction books that make you think about the world in a different way, books like "Freakonomics," "Predictably Irrational" and "The Tipping Point." There are a bunch out there that I have already read that I would love to discuss, but I am also open to new suggestions! I was thinking we could meet up once month (or more) to discuss our book for that month, and just to hang out and have some fun. In addition to reading and discussing books, I would also like to meet new people and spread my friendship circle outwards a little bit. Anyone can join. If you love reading (especially non-fiction) and are interested, just join the group and we will figure out the logistics later. I hope to speak to you all soon!
