“ I find people engage what you are saying, listen, and welcome your viewpoint. Non-fiction doesn't mean everyone sees things the same way, or the way the author put forth their perception. ”

“ Friendly group of curious readers. ”

“ The Group has a history of chosing interesting books, which was why I wanted to attend. The focus is on books written by academics, but in a popular "thinking-person's best-seller" style. Economics, history and sociology have been the most important. ”
— William on Jan 23, 2007.
“ Ron dominating the group with his social darwinism. I had trouble participating. Some ideas seemed to threaten group members, especially involving doctors in health education. I don't think having a brother in medical school is the answer to the question. No point in commenting more except the idea that people will return to the farm is a little ridiculous. ”
— Harold Kassel on Dec 17, 2007.
“ Two suggestions - camera for pictures to load up to the website and name tags so we know whose talking and would help remember people especially if your trying to make friends... ”
— Marie on Jun 28, 2007.
“ It's got potential. ”

“ I really enjoyed the few meetups I attended before this group stopped the monthly meetup. Sorry that it doesn't seem to have any legs to continue running on. Anybody got any ideas / suggestions to see if we could start again anytime in the future? By the way, organizer Tycha...how much is the group costing you? And why is it still a group if we're not gonna be able to actually meetup? ”
