Oh wow, that be the coolest thing ever to have a reading group for this book, which is also at the intersection of multiple of my interests, and I've had my eye on it for years. I want to learn classical mechanics at a much deeper conceptual level, and I want to absorb new, powerful uses of Lisp abstraction, and writing toy physics simulations is of course always fun. I have so many bits and pieces of weekend projects that sort-of lead into SICM, and things like it. Sadly, I'm temporarily on the wrong continent for Bay Area meetup groups. (Maybe this is an error state).

I hope you serendipitously manage to find your ideal reading group, nanomonkey.

I once joined a Clojure group for reading SICM. But then the discussion turned out to be more about porting the stuff to Clojure than physics.

I was likely in the same group, we only got through the first chapter or so before it devolved into what graphical library we'd be using...

...so shall we port it to Guile Scheme then?!?
