I'm really enjoying reading and discussing books in this group! I hope you are too. The next book club will take place this fall (or spring in the southern hemisphere, I'm waiting for our first member from down under). Please fill out this survey to help us pick a book. Select as many books as you'd like. I'll compile the results and we'll organize groups like we did last year. Responses are due by August 18.

If you're undecided about leading a group - the duties are light: set up the meeting, have a list of questions ready to prompt discussion, start and end the meeting, communicate with other group leaders.

Here are the books. Links are to the publisher or amazon, but I encourage you to find them in your library!

Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst, Robert M. Spolsky
Blight: Fungi and the Coming Pandemic, Emily Monosson
Control: The Dark History and Troubling Present of Eugenics, Adam Rutherford
Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny, Kate Manne
An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us, Ed Yong
Planta Sapiens: The New Science of Plant Intelligence, Paco Calvo and Natalie Lawrence
The Power Code: More Joy. Less Ego. Maximum Impact for Women (and Everyone), Katty Kay and Claire Shipman
The Premontion: A Pandemic Story, Michael Lewis
Privacy is Power: Why and How You Should Take Back Control of Your Data, Carissa Veliz
Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything, BJ Fogg, Ph.D.
Vagina Obsurca: Rachel E. Gross
