I skimmed this a bit, but found it a little hard to follow along your notes without knowing what those first seven pages of the book were actually saying. I felt that in order to understand your thought process, I would first need to read your notes and reconstruct the argument the book was making from your responses to it, and then read the post a second time once I had some sense of what it was a reaction to. But that seems pretty error-prone; it would help a lot to have a summary of those seven pages before your notes.
