What I'm Reading These Days

home

These are links to various sites on the web where I have found good reading material, on various topics. And yes, there is an apparent over-emphasis on crawlies and slimies. Apparent only; they are the predominant aspect of life on this planet. And I love them, besides.

Quote of the Month

We are the new barbarians, skilled but illiterate. There is of course a bias behind my observation; it is a cultural bias, a resentment, not unlike “oral folk” must have felt when it saw its culture pitted against the new technology of the written word.

Oral folk depend to the full on memory in anything they do, while the literate doesn't need to burden his memory with inessentials. If the need arises he will look up a reference. The traditional response to this convenience was to denounce literacy as a slipshod way of corrupting our faculty to memorize.
