I love trees and the birds, squirrels, and monkeys that inhabit them.

I'm recommending to myself Economics by 93 year-old Paul Samuelson, which is in the 19th edition. The best and brightest may also be the oldest, so there is still hope for me. I'd be thrilled to read his text on a Kindle. Perhaps the local library will buy a few, so I can try it out, and not have to shell out the five hundred bucks.

The short story is really short, probable only a page or two if you read it on a Kindle. Isaac will surely smile in heaven if you read it that way.
