Never done a group read before, so why not make the first one about something truly fascinating like statistics? (haha)
We'll read How to lie with statistics, including 100% of the cartoons.
Feel free to broaden this read with 310s or statistical tidbids or experiences with stats you see that you just know ain't so - yet aren't exactly lies either.
I don't think spoilers are something to worry about with this book - actually if only reading one chapter out of the book, the last one would probably be the best.
