ageing in 3 acts:
act 1) finding a reference to a scifi book and thinking "that looks interesting, how come I've never read it? I should read it now!"
act 2) searching for the kindle version on amazon
act 3) being greeted by the banner "You purchased this item on 5 April 2017"
(the book was "A Fire Upon the Deep")
@me A Fire Upon the Deep is one of my favourites :-) but yes it happens to me as well!
@me I now remember… the Vinge I like best is “A deepness in the sky “
