(...) every time I pick up any kind of book about science I start to cry. This actually inhibits my reading pretty badly, due to not being able to see. I'm OK with time theorist up until, say, Sf Augustine, and then I start to panic, and the panic then gives way to actual weeping. By my estimation, I should be able to understand Newton by the time I'm 850 years old - by which time (...) he's out of date (.).

”But first, some ground rules:
1) I don't want anyone writing in to point out that I spend too much money on books, many of which I will never read. I know that already. I certainly *intend* to read all of them, more or less. My *intentions* are good. Anyway, it's my money. And I'll bet you do it too.”
