    All, GJ,

    That's a good idea, and to show what a good, sharing sport I am, I'll also
    add on my own index for Lila. This index is really old, though, made
    before I really knew what was going on in Lila, so it can probably be revised.

                          English (paperback version) Dutch version
    (first print 1991) chapter 1 3
                                                9
    chapter 2 21 25
    chapter 3 33 36
    chapter 4 55 56
    chapter 5 66 66
    chapter 6 78 77
    chapter 7 94 91
    chapter 8 112 108
    chapter 9 123 118
    chapter 10 141 135
    chapter 11 157 149
    chapter 12 172 163
    chapter 13 182 173
    chapter 14 191 182
    chapter 15 222 210
    chapter 16 237 223
    chapter 17 243 228
    chapter 18 264 248
    chapter 19 278 260
    chapter 20 285 266
    chapter 21 297 278
    chapter 22 308 289
    chapter 23 325 305
    chapter 24 341 319
    chapter 25 360 338
    chapter 26 370 347
    chapter 27 391 368
    chapter 28 397 373
    chapter 29 404 380
    chapter 30 420 395
    chapter 31 444 418
    chapter 32 452 425

    Remember, this is old. In some ways, I don't even know what the index
    names even refer to anymore.

      416 pragmatism

    438-441 dharma
    454-457 karma

    Like any index, it starts to structure how you think of a book if you don't
    read the parts out side of the index. For instance, I'd forgotten about
    the Sidis part in Lila because on my first reading I didn't think it
    important enough to write down. Now, I don't even know where to find it if
    I wanted to. My suggestion: make this index more nuanced. I know I'll
    have to.

    On a more philosophical note, this is the first step towards "normal
    science" according to Kuhn. Not literally what we're doing, but the free
    exchange of materials is one of the virtues of the natural sciences that
    the rest of culture could emulate. This is something that could lead to
    progress in our collective studies.

    Good suggestion GJ!

    Matt
