Reading Wendell Berry "The Art of the Commonplace"

 In this collection of essays, Berry has an essay on using his wife to type his manuscripts coupled with he refusal to buy a computer. Granted, his essay is his view and highly personal. Interesting to me he says nothing about people who write dissertations, and how having a computer screen that's easily revised eliminates the need to retype pages and pages of a dissertation to get the alignment right, to add references, text, and footnotes at the bottom of the page

I've set a reading goal to include more Wendell Berry, who, like Edgar Cayce, is from Kentucky.
