Afternoon, everyone.

I hope you've all had a chance to get your books. I heard of some problems so I waited a few days to start this post. If you do have it, feel free to start. I think the best way to do this book is going to do it in two halfs, three weeks for each half. If you someone could see a good halfway point, let me know in the post and we'll settle it from there.

I'm also going to be making periodic posts regarding the book and the author to give us some more insight or perspectives or just know the author's mind some more. I encourage everyone to do the same because it really adds to the atmosphere. For example, here's a *Science Friday* podcast with Cormac McCarthy, Werner Herzog, and Lawrence Krauss that I found fascinating.

Enjoy!

EDIT: My formatting didn't work from my phone, so it lost the list and link. Here's the Science Friday link: http://www.sciencefriday.com/segment/04/08/2011/connecting-s...
