It would be nice to pick (and edit, if necessary) the best comments for the book version.
A roundup like that would be valuable.
I usually recommend reading the book instead of web, precisely because it is better to read the entire book than to read 10% of the web version and then decide it is too much.
Does this consideration apply to re-reads as strongly?

Reading entire Sequences with all comments seems like an enormous waste of time; that’s a ton of text. Your time would be better spent reading a few other books, I think.
That’s just my opinion, though; see other comments.
Hmm, I like this idea. I’ve been thinking of ways to curate and synthesize comment sections for a while, and the original sequences might be a good place to put that in action.
It would be nice to have a “comment synthesis” that is written sufficiently long after the debate ended (not sooner than one month after publishing the original article?).
By the way, if you do this for many articles in the Sequences, perhaps you could also afterwards join those reactions into one big “community reaction to the Sequences”, as a new article where people could read it all in one place.
