To the moderators. I think this belongs in "What we're reading now". Please delete my post when you have acted on it. Thanks.

This board has a map, and that map shows a discussion list for reading books. You want to discuss a book that you are reading? The place for that, according to this map is here. If we are going to put such an obvious candidate for that section into this Learning GS topics, why the &@#@! do we even bother with having a separate area for discussing books? Obviously neither this thread initiator nor the moderators are trying to keep the GS Discussion forums "map" and "territory" in any semblance of "similar structure".

I repeat! You want to discuss a book that you are reading? The place for that, according to this map is here.

Vilmart said, "I am reading this book and I would like to discuss of it with you."

End of story.

"I don't know what you mean by 'glory'," Alice said.

Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't --- till I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!'"

"But 'glory' doesn't mean 'a nice knock-down argument,'" Alice objected.

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean --- neither more nor less."

"The question is", said Alice, "whether you CAN make words mean so many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "[who] is to be master --- that's all."

I remember the "lay etemology" "definition" of history as "his story". It would seem that we can extend this to any book on any subject, including the variations in Hayakawa reflecting reported "disputes" with Korzybski.
