The Big U
well, as long as my notebook is busy reinstalling, and me not being able to do any real work… I can blog.
To be honest, this is only after I’ve scoured www.avlis.org for new posts, so don’t feel too nice right now :)
To the topic: The Big U . That’s a book by Neil Stephenson, one of my favourite authors. I’m rereading it while commuting at the moment, and really would have liked to live on some campus five or six years ago. Instead, I lived with my then-girlfriend, which was nice too. But there’s this perverse imp on my shoulder that keeps telling me I’ve probably missed a lot of stuff: Great uni internet connection, late parties with other students, wild sex with cute female philosophy students…
But then, who am I kidding: Most people who I knew to live in a dorm had girlfriends whose last name were .jpg and jpeg.
You should read The Big U, it’s good.
