- Wolf Hall. Despite a sprinkling of linguistic and philosophical gems, I really struggled, then put it down for a couple of months, and couldn't bring myself to read anything else of any substance during that time. Thought it had destroyed some part of my brain. I finally had a long flight and determined to finish it, which I did. Then I sat in the heated pool on the roof of the TWA Hotel, with an icy wind whipping the rising steam, glad I was not Henry and don't have to deal with Anne, even though people are still mostly the same as they ever were, and grateful for the planes, phones and even Slack setting me free.
To quote Wolsey via Shakespeare:

- While you’re waiting for those, here’s my favorite scientific paper ever, from NASA, only 6 pages and includes the phrases “hell planet”, “Gerard K. O’Neill”, and “aerostat habitat” - https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20030022668/downloads/20...

- There was definitely a thing during dotcom 1 where people could leave stickies for other people using the same service. Iirc it imploded dramatically from people sniping at each other, which you avoid. I’ll have to look that up.
As someone with 238 tabs currently open, personal stickies could be a good thing.
