    One thing that happens in aging is you lose patience. I also read far less than before. These Culture novels are WAY too long. I’m in the “get on with it” phase of reading now. And I used to read things like Aldiss’s Helliconia.

    I wish AI was reliable, so I’d just ask for a précis of a given novel and work from that.

      Unabridged audio books at 3x speed – ramp the speed up slowly, if you need to – and you can rip through books quite quickly. But, more reading could be good. (I know I should probably no more actual reading, too.)
