This past weekend I decided to begin this book. I wanted to in the 1980s but I don’t think I was intellectually up for the challenge. I feel that I am now, maybe… I am also “taking” the MIT Opencourseware that has 8 lectures from years ago…2007(?) . I find that attending the grad students lectures while reading the book, makes it more of an event, like an academic learning journey. Plus, I am older (is older than 50 older?). Now, my main problem is that over the years I have gotten so used to my Kindle. Why, oh why, won’t they relent to putting this on an ebook format. I have read from others, “Oh, it does not translate to an ebook format and the author won’t relent on allowing it.” Seriously?! Come on! I am not anti-hardcopy but this is a book that you need to be able to stare at while you are out and about… when you have some sudden spark of understanding. Maybe I am wrong… but maybe not.
