Hi Guys,

It looks like we have critical mass for a book group.  Awesome.  I'm enthusiastic to take the lead on this, if you want to participate please email me at adambrobbins@gmail.com and I will get things started this weekend.

Rohit, thanks for reaching out and for the support.  I'll be in touch.

Looking forward to it,

Adam

Hey NYfA'ers! Great to see so much interest in a book club. Let me know if you need any support in organizing it / materials for discussion - if someone wants to take the lead on this, I'd be more than happy to provide support from AF's end. 

Best,
Rohit
