RE: Ted Chiang is an amazing writer of parables and tales - and Exhalation is an incredible collection

I really like the kind of stories that entertain you but also taught you. Sometimes what seems to be light to read actually makes you reflect on deep subjects; perhaps what is "easy" to read just means that it's so well written that doesn't become tedious

Definitely. I've just started reading Childhood's End by Arthur C Clarke, and he's so easy to read it makes me happy. Unfortunately, I only manage about ten pages in bed each night before I get too sleepy to continue.

I get it, but hey, at least you're reading a bit before sleeping. That's more than what I do lately.

I'd love to be able to wake up, refreshed, then a few hours in the morning, but that's what normal people with normal jobs get to do.

I wish the same, but sadly I'm not one of the normal people.
