Cool: just added you to the list, updated the group stats, and will add that book suggestion to our reading list.
I have some other cool stuff for the OP page coming down the pipe later this afternoon as well

Alright everyone. Economics in One Lesson and Applied Economics received the first and second most votes, respectively. We will start with the former on the 12th.
I've skimmed though the book and it looks like an easy read. I think 20 pages an hour would be easily doable, which would be 100 pages per week based on our 5 hour target. But to be conservative in this first run, lets budget the first 14 chapters for the first week (only 88 pages) and the next 10 chapters for the following week (only 94 pages).
That sound good to everyone or should we spread it out more? Keep in mind this will be an evolving process and we can make changes as we move along.
Also, all books which didn't make this round were added to our group's account on GoodReads and will be brought up for vote next go 'round. I've updated the OP to include a cool spider chart showing the topical weighting of the books we have in queue and also added a "Trophy Room" section where we will showcase completed titles.
Let's do this
