Vittorio warns that a post listing the contents of a personal bookshelf contains no 'useful identity information'.
Au contraire my Redmond friend. Almost the first 3 books I saw on my own shelves were matches.
(Eternal Golden Braid's cover lost as a result of frequent 'frustration tosses' over the years).
These and other overlaps (e.g. Code Book, Linked, Black Swan, etc) in our reading identify Vittorio as a man of rare insight, intellect, and wit.
Vittorio, seeing your enthusiasm for narcissistic DNA, I feel safe recommending a story of retrograde motion.
Paul, thank you so much for the incredibly kind & entirely undeserved words... I am happy to be kept in such a high esteem from one of your caliber :-) rest assured, it is entirely reciprocated!
ReplyDeleteI do have the Ancestor's Tale in the "to read" purgatory shelf, together with The God Delusion. Eventually I'll bring it for some long flight... ;-)
