Contemplating reading through the rest without making notes, then taking another look when I blog about bits. From your vantage point, what do you think about splitting it up to a post per chapter vs two chapters together? Quite moot I bet, except for concerns of structuring/dividing any discussion more neatly, and spamming general rss-feed subscribers with too many posts. ;-) I’ve only read the first two chapters, made some silly little notes as I went.

I begin reading tomorrow... Does that mean you start reading before me? ;-) I'm also taking Susan Blackmore's "The Meme Machine" with me, also small, and it bothers me that I've only read a couple of its chapters, and that more than a year ago, probably.

(Not necessarily because they're actually cheaper, but because everything else is much more expensive.) If you'd like to get it, I will buy it off you when you're done! I'd like to have another copy, and I like hard cover. When we're done reading, I'll be contemplating lending this book to people anyway, if not buying more for presents. :-P Aw drats, kalahari only has hard-cover at an exorbitant price:

I'm back home on Sunday night, 5 July. Depending on any other potential participants, I could aim for the evening of 6 July instead, or for later that week. Either way, if someone's got a good enough memory, or takes notes, or whatever, it won't really matter if they read it "too early", methinks? I'll probably be starting on 22 June myself, anyway!
