I agree - like Eva being slow and European and not having the book yet.

If we're discussing other possible topics, I'm currently reading Vygotsky's
'Historical Meaning of the Crisis in Psychology', which - to use a very 60s
phrase - has really blown my mind (literally in all sorts of different
directions). For those of us who don't speak Russian, there are vast amounts
of new Vygotsky material becoming available through the English edition of
the Collected Works. I don't know whether anyone else would be interested in
structured discussion of this or whether it would be going over old ground
for many on the list. Either way, I'll post some ideas / questions that
occur to me so that at the very least we could have an unstructured
discussion.
