Austin LW Book Club - July 2021 Reading Nominations & Voting

[Tim Zook]

Hi all,

The Austin Less Wrong Book Club recently finished reading Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction by Phillip Tetlock, so it's now time to nominate and vote on the next book we will be reading.

For those who aren't familiar with the book club, every week we choose a section of a book to read (usually a few chapters) and meet via Discord/Jitsi video chat to discuss the reading. It is a great way to motivate yourself to read books you otherwise would not have and to get a chance to discuss the ideas in the books at length with the other group members.

First we will have a period for everyone to submit nominations on what book we will read next. To nominate a book, just submit a response to this form with your book nomination and a brief explanation of why you think it would be a good book for us to read. You can see the list of books that have been nominated here. Once the nomination period is over we will have a voting period where we will vote on which one of the nominations we will read next. The nomination period ends at 2021/07/24 23:00:00 CDT.

Looking forward to reading a new book with you all!

Hi all,

The votes are in and Legal Systems Very Different From Ours will be the next book that we are reading together. Our first meeting reading the book will be next Wednesday, at 7:00PM CST on Wednesday, August 4th. Everyone should read the introduction and the first chapter of the book before then and we will discuss these sections together and determine how much we will read next. Looking forward to reading this new book with you all!

Thanks,

~Tim
