If we all agreed on everything, what would we have to talk about?! 
I found his sober approach inviting as a basis for a closer discussion about the fundamental issues involved. I think he at least tries to keep his feet on the ground and doesn’t get lost in his own philosophical speculations.
It would be great to have you on board for this, given your interests and background, not to mention your cogent insights into the “reality” question. I have scheduled a kick-off session for 11 Feb. Maybe you can make it.
As I have noted elsewhere, it is not absolutely essential to get his book. The front matter, which is the focus of our kick-off session, is available at no cost as a Kindle reading sample. The content chapters are all available online; I’ll be posting links to them as we go along; and, it is my intention to summarize the introductory chapters to the various sections of the book to ease the overall reading load. Well, that’s the plan at least.
Looking forward to seeing you along the way.
