I'll be away 18th-25th Sept, but as that comes in the middle of the two
sections that need not be a problem. I've also written half of a long post
commenting on some issues arising from Laszlo's paper and, as everyone has
access to that now and Mike has started the ball rolling, why not start the
discussion now?

That would also allow us to divide the reading into three or four chunks
instead of two inside the same time frame. One reason I tend not to
participate in the book discussions is that I always fall behind with the
reading - I don't know if others have the same problem, but I think smaller
chunks of what is a quite dense text might help boost participation.

What do others think?
