So you read encyclopedias as a child as well. I thought that was my peculiar habit alone. I used to do something like that to think when I was at Chevron. After days of reading material on a project I'd go across the street and borrow a book by Pliny or Marcus Aurelius. By the time I'd finished a coffee and macaroni & cheese and a few chapters I had a new insight on the project I was working on. I also kept a portable TI computer terminal at home, one where you plugged the phone handle into suction cups and it printed on thermal paper. For that sudden clarity that can happen after you come home from dinner or are getting into bed. Now we have Medline and business news all on-line. Quite amazing. It reminds me that PBS interviewed Warren Buffet's younger son a few weeks ago. He said he had no idea what his Dad did or that he was famous when he was growing up. He said, "I just knew my Dad read all the time and I couldn't figure out how someone could earn a living doing that." .
