I'm a computer scientist with broad interests in history and the sciences. I found the instant improvability of Wikipedia to be nearly irresistible. It's a great system, so I decided to become part of it.
Contrary to some impressions, I'm not online all of the time, and I sometimes even travel to the big room with the blue roof. Thus, I may take some time to reply to a discussion or request. Further delay is possible in the rare cases where I think before I write something. ;-)
A snapshot of my reading (September 15th, 2016):
- Arthur C. Clarke: The Sentinel (I have the Kindle edition, which seems to have more stories) - let's just say that I got the omnibus edition of Clarke short stories immediately after. I liked this a lot better than Heinlein...
- Nancy Kress: Beggars in Spain - very good! However, it's a bit of a letdown that Kress (and her superhuman characters) seem to know Rand, but never seem to have heard of Rawls
- Aravind Adiga: The White Tiger - following Kress on my reading list should have been a hard job, but wow!
