We read various non-fiction books rough around the topic of "how things happen." To date, we have read Guns, Germs and Steel, Blink, Fooled by Randomness, The Logic of Failure and The Black Swan: the Impact of the Highly Improbable. We will next read The Clock of the Long Now (for July) and another Jared Diamond book, Collapse (for August). Meetings are usually a Sunday brunch, and my original plan was to have a second meeting on a weekday evening, and will revisit this idea if there is interest.

Want to attend?

We generally hang out for about an hour. The place is TBA. I'm considering the Smallman street Diner in Squirrel Hill. The book is the Wisdom of Crowds.

Maybe it's time for a little less face-to-screen and a little more face-to-face.
