"Albeit my slowness in reading Annie Dillard is out of sheer enjoyment, meticulous plodding through Poincaré is a queer, delightful necessity. While it's taking some cranial effort to arrive at small eureka moments that I presumptuously expect will build to even larger ones, the fruits of this labor are deliciously satisfying." — Oct 04, 2026 11:03AM
