I just picked up Understanding Computation and, having made it through the first two chapters at this point, heartily recommend it. If anyone wants to have a little reading group, I'd be interested.

Author here. Thanks for the recommendation! There’s already a reading group in London (http://lanyrd.com/series/compbookclub/), but that may not be of any use to you.

If anyone else is interested in the book, there's more information at http://computationbook.com/.

Absolutely. I'm glad you wrote it, seems like an unexpected way to approach the subject, and I can see where e.g. this comment[1] comes from. But I think it's quite valuable and inspires me (lacking any CS degree) to pursue further study.
