And, the last binary day until 11/01/01 (after which will come 11/10/01, 11/11/01, and not again until New Year's Day, 2010). Barely read any of A Fire Upon the Deep, and only minimal progress on Shadow of the Hegemon, as my work is beginning to bear down on me. I'm only reading a chapter or two of Ludwig Wittgenstein: The Duty of Genius each day, so that should take me a good month or two to actually finish. And, as if I don't already have enough recreational reading to do (not counting my school reading) I've decided to start reading Alan Moore's famous graphic novel, From Hell. This book has been getting a lot of press recently since they're moving a movie out of it, starring Johnny Depp and directed by the Hughes brothers (who also directed Menace II Society, if I recall correctly). Since I don't exactly own From Hell, I can only read a little bit of it at a time before the employees at the bookstore start looking at me askance, so don't expect a review of that for a while. In other news, yesterday was my father's birthday. I'm not sure how old he is, but it's under 50 (I think). Happy birthday, dad!
