    Children of Time is nothing like Anathem, but both are so, so bad. CoT was good for about a hundred pages, and then I just got sick of spiders berating each other. Quit around the …

    "Flibbertigibbeting" and "Beboppin" are the new i'm waiting for it to compile, but while the binary outcome of compilation (either it compiles or it doesn't) keeps your head in the…
