I tried Egan's "Diaspora" and I just can't. The thing is a friggin math textbook without the benefit of diagrams.

When I have to hold abstractions in my head to read, it's hard work for me. I will be utterly lost without a visual illustration to guide me. Something like this is incredibly close in challenge to programming and math for me.

So I buckled after 10% read and have now started a Jane Bowles novel called "Two Serious Ladies" because I really don't need my spare time to be filled with the very thing that makes my day job hard for my brain.

"...it is my idea that sometimes age affects us like youth, like strong champagne that goes to our heads, and we dare what we have never dared before, perhaps also because we feel that it is our last chance..."

I'm willing to put friendship on the line when it comes to #bookrecs. I can't be friends with someone who doesn't like [insert author].

#JaneBowles is high up on my list of writers that can make or break a friendship. She's a #TrueOriginal

My #PasteUp of Jane & her lover #Cherifa from 2009.

#index entry on Cherifa from Millicent Dillon's biography of Jane Bowles: A Little Original Sin.

p 236: "Cherifa...was handsome and had gold teeth. Like Janie she was unpredictable."
