Note: Great response to the idea of an IHE book club. Thank you. It seems clear that folks may be interested in participating, that the idea of having the author run the club is a bad idea, that people like short books, and lead time is important. Hopefully we can figure out how to run an experiment in the future. In the meantime, please keep ideas for books coming. You can always comment on a blog, or e-mail directly at joshua.m.kim@dartmouth.edu.
