Anathem

Have to admit, since Anathem arrived on my Kindle I have spent a lot of time with my nose glued to its e-ink screen: on the treadmill at the gym, commuting on Caltrain, a prelude to ‘chemo-naps,’ over lunch and just about any other free moment. The Kindle has freed me, with my hemiparetic left side, from reading only on my computer - I’m back to reading again, as if I could still handle a hardback volume (the Kindle’s light weight and page-change buttons are much easier to handle). Indeed, I left Jared Diamond’s excellent Collapse in mid-chapter (page still preserved on my Kindle) to start in on Anathem. Yes, I’m a Neal Stephenson fan…

    Thomas: good news is you can pack a lot of books into a small device… bad news is it’s not cheap (yet).. Let’s talk next Saturday…
