I started reading this book at my brother’s while I was visiting to meet my new nephew. The book really does go all over the place with math and philosophy and science fiction. But it all starts with odd religious … Continue reading →

Posted on 120203 by Lizz

Now,  I usually read books for their stories, rather than their themes.  But when reading this book, the comparison between the two settings – socialism (which was referred to as anarchism) vs capitalism – was so obvious and all consuming … Continue reading →

Where do we go…

Posted on 111206 by Lizz

I defended my thesis yesterday.  I’m all but done my Master’s degree, and I don’t know what I am doing next. Not completely true.  I know that today, I am relaxing, drinking rum and eggnog (done my 3rd at 1pm), … Continue reading →

For today is a day to celebrate

Posted on 110305 by Lizz

Why? Simply because it is my birthday. I was going to run 8km this morning, but when I woke up, it was barely morning anymore, and it was pouring. Clearly, it was a sign to stay cozy in my bed … Continue reading →

Another book, another project

Posted on 110223 by Lizz

I finished reading The Truth Teller’s Tale on Monday night, it was simple and to the point, and very easy to predict. In short, it was an excellent break from the Wheel of Time series. I had a lot of … Continue reading →
