Looking forward to everyone's reflections on Pieper's answers.

But I'm also wondering if we should postpone PART II - The Philosophical Act - for another time?

Let's take a poll? There are 4 chapters in Part II. We could postpone it. Or we could try to do 2 chapters a week and finish up in 2 weeks? Or we could even finish reading the book next week and do a final post?
What do others think?

I vote for postponment.

It appears to be a treastise on Catholic doctrine and I just dont think I could do it justice without more thorough study.

I will probably read it either way. I scanned part of it briefly, and it seems that the main point is that the philosophical act is the ultimate act of leisure? Probably oversimpifying...

I finally made my post, and a week's break before proceeding sounds good to me! :)
