HMTP Synchronicity

I haven't posted anything in a good long while, but now its time to get back on the horse. I have been doing a lot of exploratory reading lately. I do this often and sometimes the books find their way into the HMTP; but only after months of delay. I have been reading a book on GEOCENTRISM, and while it may sound like a waste of time, it has proved to be anything but. Books like this make it difficult to avoid becoming conspiratorial, when it comes to anything scientific or even religious.

So the HMTP has changed again. This time, though, more than one cause produced the effect. For one, we are faced with acquisition problems. Money is tight these days and the books we need are expensive, or scarce, so availability is a problem. The PPLD does not have the Geocentrism book and the Austrian Economics book had to be obtained through interlibrary loan. So, for two of the books we want to read, we only had one copy of each. Second, I read one of the books already and Rick finished the other. This makes for a disjointed discussion. We prefer to be reading the same book at the same time. Third, the Geocentrism book was so eye opening that Rick wants to read it immediately.

These different issues affected the HMTP so badly that there is simply no way for us to be reading the same books at the same time for the next several months. We, therefore, had to resort to creating two temporary reading lists, posted at the bottom of the HMTP page, to focus our efforts so that by early next year we will be back in sync.

So the HMTP list that you see isn’t much more than a general guideline for the actual reading that will be going on with members of the group. It will, however, allow any hangers on to keep up with our progress.
