Oh, I got a message about him at work - apparently he used to work at the UGA library. I can fish it out and email you if you'd like to see it.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Sometimes, I are dum. Kipling's "Just So Stories" /= Aesop's Fables.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
But they were constantly served up in the same context when we were kids so you are totally forgiven.

Okay, Anathem is slow in starting, but it's finally picking up (Raz and Tulia just had the conversation about which orders they were expected to join).
Man, the made-up words are *killing* me, and I can't keep straight which belief system espouses what, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. And every time the Ita are mentioned, I think, "That 'I' should be lower-case."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And every time the Ita are mentioned, I think, "That 'I' should be lower-case."
Heh - I had the exact same problem.
The Anathem Wiki can be helpful for untangling the math/science historical references.

The glossary helps a lot, but because the terms refer to real philosophies/philosophers (Socrates, Plato, and their posse), I have a hard time remembering what real philosophy maps onto any given made-up term.

Anathem: Orolo just got kicked out. I wasn't expecting that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm so glad I didn't change my tagline to the spoilery one that Steph is about to get to!

Oh, Tom. I'm a spoiler ho, and I read your whitefont already. So I'm guessing that's what Orolo saw (or was at least looking for). t edit Uh, not a protractor. The other thing.
