Took a long time
Posted on August 14, 2002 @ 09:51 in Research
Sometimes after starting to read a book, I wonder why it took me such a long time to either buy the book or if I already bought it, why it took me so long to get started in it. Sandy Stone's The War of Desire and Technology at the Close of the Mechanical Age (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press) is such a book. Since it came out in 1995 I knew it was there, I knew that I wanted to read it, but somehow it only kept hovering in the peripheral field of my consciousness, just out of reach of the desire to act on that knowledge. But about a month ago I remembered I'd wanted the book for a long time, went online, ordered the book and now that I've finally started it, I can hardly put it down. More later, I guess...

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
