Insurgent Summer was an online and offline reading group around 2010 that had a number of participants whose focus was the book, Letters of Insurgents. From the start I was quite impressed with the overall group effort because the text wasn't yet posted or formatted for The Anarchist Library, so someone scanned the entire book, another person OCR'd (optical character recognition) it, and then a handful of librarians helped format it for the library markup.
To answer your question, while it has been many years, for the most part the reading group and The Anvil Review insert discussed Letters of Insurgents although I'm sure some did some brief cross-over to his other works. I know one aspect that I found intriguing was tracing real world events to events that happened in the book and figuring out an exact setting from that. I'm working on finding my copy or getting a copy to share electronically. My notes from Insurgent Summer are posted to my blog here: https://stalkingtheearth.net/content/letters-insurgents-brief-commentary
