Coinicidentally, I had been wondering whether to try set up something like
this in London to discuss pop science books - probably in the neighbourhood
of Imperial College, but the Jeremy Bentham would be fine too if the group
which used to meet there is defunct/needs revivng.
If anyone is interested, why not tell me off list?
