[LRUG] Computer Science / Mathematics book group

[James Adam]

One way to work it might be to list the books more than a month in  
advance. So, this coming month start with a short one, and pre-decide  
what the next one will be already, and so on rolling forwards. That  
will give people a heads up with more time to cogitate, and maybe they  
don't attend each discussion.

Does that make sense? My description might be terrible.
