I’d like to gauge interest in posting bulleted, section-by-section, non-fiction book summaries, with the intention of some discussion. I think that it would be of high utility to those who want knowledge but haven’t the time to read a book, and for me who wants to read a book and work through the ideas more thoroughly. The first two books I have in mind are Understanding Uncertainty which has been recommended by Lukeprog, and The Moral Animal which has been recommended by EY.
It could be chapter by chapter, perhaps in weekly open threads, or the whole book in a discussion post. The summary would mostly consist of select quotes with commentary to summarise longer passages.
The poll is just for interest, comment if you have strong preference for the books I choose,
