No criticism intended of course! (Having to understand a long sentence to read it out loud properly meant deep reading for me, which was good!) It's just that I think the book was written to be read, not spoken - the reader's eyes can and do go back and forth to capture the nested concepts. So this lead me to think how would a book with shorter sentences be like. It would be a different book, perhaps for a different audience or for a different way of absorbing the ideas. At the back of my mind lurk a couple of questions: - what would a book (on Peace) for children be like? Would it appeal to other ages as well? Could a 15 page booklet be written? Would it make any sense at all? - how young can participants be in an Open Space gathering? What happens if people learn (use) OS when they are very young? So thanks for your comment on "long" sentences!
