I would like to see sequences of top-level postings which consist of systematic, chapter-by-chapter reviews of books which are of interest to rationalists.

As one example of such a book: Pearl: "Causality"

I like the idea but would perhaps go with a couple of posts on the most significant themes rather than chapter-by-chapter reviews. Or, in the case of chapter-by-chapter reviews not not make it post-per-chapter!

(Chapter by chapter reviews have flopped in the past but perhaps wouldn't have if they were not each presented as top level posts.)
