How many people are reading this book?
Just a quick poll to see how active we can expect this forum to get.Are you reading this book?Results (total votes = 16):Yes, and I am also contributing on the forum 7 / 43.8%  Yes, and I will soon contribute on the forum 3 / 18.8%  Yes, but I doubt I will contribute on the forum 0 / 0.0% No, but I am contributing or will contribute on the forum 3 / 18.8%  No, and I will probably not contribute on the forum 3 / 18.8%  "The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them"
Re: How many people are reading this book?
Hey Chris,I checked the latter no. I haven't really contributed at all as of late and I'd like to find out more about Spinoza before I pick up Damasio's book. I plan to do both soon!Ando

Good to see ya Andonicus! Chris "The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them"
Re: How many people are reading this book?
I moved less than a month ago, and haven't had a chance to get to the library yet. I intend to borrow & read the book, and contribute to the discussion, but I haven't done it yet. Er... time's a-wastin'; how'd it get to be Jan. 15th already? Realistically speaking - I may not be able to do it in time.
Re: How many people are reading this book?
I have just joined this board about a week or so ago but do plan to read the book. As I read snippets of the book, I would like to contribute. I'm sure I'll become more of a regular fixture here soon enough. I'm still going through craziness consistent of having just moved and trying to find a job. In Love and Reason,Christian L. Ambrose
Re: How many people are reading this book?
I am reading and moderately contributing at the moment. I intend on spending all day and night on here once I have gotten through more of the book Since this book covers such an important topic (the biological basis of our deepest emotions and feelings) and begins with a massive paradigm shift (our feelings are preceded by emotions) I find it necessary to grapple with several chapters before really being able to contribute thoroughly to the discussion at hand. I look forward to getting another chapter or two under my belt.Eric
Re: How many people are reading this book?
I am not reading it, but probably will, cause I am reading Descartes' Error and enjoying it very much. I am becoming a Damasio fan, but I have three books by Dawkins sitting unread, so by the time I get to the Searching for Spinoza, this discussion will proably be over.

I just picked it up yesterday, and will likely start reading it this week, or next.
