Shall we introduce ourselves?
Hello everyone!
I'd like to start a once-a-week "get to know you" conversation, since there are a lot of new faces around TED Conversations these days! Let's try a one-day conversation that closes and reopens once a week on Wednesdays, and see how it goes, shall we?
Here's a few questions to kick things off:
• What's on your reading list right now?
• Where would you love your next travel destination to be?
• If you could witness any event past, present, or future, what would you choose?
The default comment view is in reverse chronological order, so the oldest posts are down at the very bottom. You can change the "Sort By:" menu below if you'd prefer a different order. Off we go! :)

I'm always curious about books that inspire multiple readings. As a kid, I must have read the sci-fi novel "Ender's Game" at least a dozen times. Gave away my copy in a pique of indignation after reading some of the author's op-ed columns in college, though, and haven't read it since!
