Have we started something???? Mark Zuckerberg has declared 2015 “A Year of Books” and has created a book club. Read more here. The TLT Group’s Cognitive Science Book Discussion Series was well received though I don’t think we had 30 million people involved. We will finish the series during FridayLive! when we discuss “Mr Penumbra’s 24 Hour Bookstore.” See more information about this event here. So what should we read next? React to some options and give us so new choices via the survey below. You are also welcome to attend a planning meeting on Wednesday at 3:00 PM ET.  More information can be found here.
