I just finished rereading "The Raj Quartet." Now reading a biography of the author, Paul Scott.

I loved the Raj Quartet and there are a few short novels I have re-read (Catcher in the Rye, Brave New World) but I cannot imagine re-reading nearly 4,000 pages!

Douglas Hofstader is both anti-gun and a vegan.

I read him for his mathematics, not his politics.
