   Proposal: any workday that happens to fall on a day when I am tantalizingly close to the end of a really good book should just be cancelled.

     @jni So, it's The Power by Naomi Alderman. I still have not found enough time ...

     I remember one day in grad school -- it was a nice day out, the sun was shining, and I was (I thought) close to the end of System of the World. So I found myself a spot on a nice bench in the trees and finished it off. Turns out I had a bit more left than I'd realized, and it was a couple hours later that I finally went back inside.

     @powersoffour what’s the book!

     It’s been a while for me — The Martian, Project Hail Mary, and Death’s End all took me to 3-4am.
