OK great. Let's do it. Let's say two weeks for everyone to get the book and read the first installment. We'll start on Sunday, September 24.

For the first installment, I suggest "Acknowledgements" through "Barrens", or through page 27 in the paperback addition. A couple of questions to think about: what genre is the book? If you answered sf, why? What makes it science fiction? Is the jumping around distracting? Is the math distracting? Do you need to understand the math to understand the book (a question that will become more pressing later on)? How true to life is the character "Alan Turing"? What purpose do the two epigraphs serve? What theme is being set? And, for Bret, what's the first sign that this is a book about monetary theory?

I'm happy to host it here, but would you guys prefer a seperate blog with everyone who wants set up as a "team member" so that everyone can post on the main page?

MORE: I have set up a new blog, Read In Unison, at http://readinunison.blogspot.com. I've invited people who have indicated that they want to participate and who's email address I could find relatively easily. Anyone else who wants to be a member should let me know.

A separate blog would be preferable.
