    If I have time I'd probably be more willing to spend some time in the later chapters of Crawley. The earlier stuff didn't interest me as much so I didn't have as much motivation there.

    Would anybody be interested in going through Edward Tufte's "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" at some point? I don't think I could start a book in December but maybe the beginning of January? I'm not aware of any electronic copies floating around but this is a great book and I'd love to go through it again and actually discuss some of the ideas in there.

    Yep, I'm up for it (dont have the book though).
    The true ideals of great philosophies always seem to get lost somewhere along the road..

    Is it too late to say I'm interested

    I'm planning to get 'The R book'. Can I join as a remedial member? Might not be ready for the advanced chapters though...
