I do want to do what I can to make it succeed. I think I picked a solid good first book, "Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future" and I've started to make a list in pinned discussion thread of books for consideration for future meetups, welcoming members to contribute ideas, too.

I'm realizing as I re-read what I wrote that I make rather bold claims on what reading and discussing these books, though I do think it's true.

Anyway, if anyone wants to take a look and offer critique on any aspect of it, I'll listen with an open mind and won't take offense by criticism. I consider it a favor when someone takes the time to offer a cogent critique. I'd love recommendations of books to that you think fit the bill for me to put on the list as having a deep reserve of really good books can make all the difference.
