[MD] The Moors

[MarshaV]

Hi Ian,

I'm only to page 67, and fighting my distaste for detail.  I had the 
same problem with GEB, which I did not complete.  I keep 
telling myself that I will eventually find something to add to the 
big picture.

The book 'Mind's I' good sounds good.  Love the titles...
