Erik, you are demonstrating your cultural prejudices.
You call it delirium...but I shall call it shamanic
trance!  It's a wonderful idea...thanks for being the
group's shaman!

Right.  We could use Empire as our core book
and have selected readings in the other books you
propose around the respective topics.  That way,
even if a given person could not do any of the extra
readings, she/he could still participate in the
discussion from having read in Empire.  

Since I have "Insurgencies"
I volunteer to cull the appropriate
pages which should be read in that book in relation to

the Conception of the State and constituted power.

Perhaps everybody could volunteer to do this on a book
they have and/or an idea the particularly interests
them.
