As the Books Pile Up

Between China, American cultural changes, Artificial Intelligence, and my ongoing fascination with such figures as Jesus Christ, Abraham Lincoln, Tiberius Caesar, Ulysses Grant, and the Duke of Wellington, my reading stack is growing at an unprecedented rate.

It's good that I don't watch television.

And that my clients accept a certain level of eccentricity. [One calls me their "Batman" since they only bring me in when there's a crisis.]

One reading tip: I've noticed that when a particular issue is at the back of my mind, my attention is often drawn to some long-neglected book on one of my shelves.

I've grown to pay attention to such signals because when I open the book, I invariably find an item that applies to the current dilemma.
