Are you planning to read and participate in the discussion of Steven Pinker's Rationality? If so please make a brief post here stating so. It help to know who else is planning to participate.

Just checking in. This was right up front at the library, so I grabbed it. Turned out to be large print, but I still need glasses. 😎
We have read a lot of books on rationality & critical thinking, so to be honest I'm not optimistic on this one, but perhaps I'll be surprised.

Your eyes must be as bad as mine. My wife laughs at how large I have the font on my Kindle.

I have bought a copy of Rationality and will start reading it soon.

Best wishes to Booktalk regulars for Christmas and the New Year.

I'm hooked after listening to Pinker's interview about the book on "Talks at Google":

I just ordered the book and I don't know how long it will be before I see it. I will be reading the book and hope to participate periodically.
