Summer Reading

I ran the numbers lately.  Currently, I have time to read 4-5
books a year.  This means, in the next 30 years, I may be
able to read only 120-150 books. I am greatly disheartened by this, but it
will help me be more selective about what I read.

That said, here’s my boingboing link of the week, 50 Books for Thinking about the Future Human Condition (warning: link opens to a pdf).  Sadly, I’ve only read one work on the list (Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel).  I wish that grown-ups had the option of a summer break, so that I could make a dent in this list.

Edit: And as further proof that she is connected to everyone, SSRD has pointed out that her uncle wrote #15 on the list.
