the mindful year, day 9: return, reread, rethink

[silveraspen]

Today's observation: rereading familiar books with open eyes and an open mind can sometimes reveal unfamiliar things.

Hmmm, I recommend a book perfect for this. Samuel R. Delany's Babel-17.

I have never read that one. But if I remember correctly you have mentioned it before, even. Hm.

I'll add it to my list!

I think in conjunction with that RaceFail thing. Rydra Wong was the nom de plume of one of the organizers of that and is the linguist main character from Babel-17. Let me know what you think.
