Mike,
in spite of many difficulties people may come across reading Leont'ev,
the reading itself will be very pleasant and informative. And xmca-list
discussion will help a lot. People will get a chance to ask questions,
verify their understanding of certain things and doubt what they think they
have understood. It is only natural that a full and complete understanding
may be difficult for someone. I have many books on the shelves (yours as
well) which I re-read and while rereading keep wondering why I didn't see
something in it before.
