当我看到（其实是看错）标题时，我还以为是塞缪尔·R·德拉尼的《掌中群星如沙粒》（Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand），那绝对是一本让人惊艳的科幻神作，可能也是德拉尼写过的最棒的东西了。唉，可惜不是。https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Stars_in_My_Pocket_Like_Grains_o...
When I saw (actually, misread) the title I was hoping it would be about Samuel R Delany's "Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand" which is a complete knock-out SF book and probably the best thing Delany ever did. Oh well. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Stars_in_My_Pocket_Like_Grains_o...
…He felt he "owed" it to the author to finish it if started. I just can't think that way. It took me three tries to get past page 100 of Dune but once I did, I absolutely loved the book. Same goes for Stars in my pocket like grains of sand: I took over five years to finish that book and it was really good. Feel "guilty?" No, guilt is reserved for when you hurt someone.
…most books are crap. But Sturgeon's Law is a thing, so that should not be surprising. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law It took me years to get past the first 100 pages of both Dune and Stars in my Pocket like Grains of Sand but once I did, both turned out to be excellent. The only reason I kept trying is that I'd heard they were both good and I couldn't figure out what I was missing until I found it. IME, the only way to…
"Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand" really messed me up as a young lad, I had no business reading that at that age. As an adult I went back and read most of his stuff, it aged really well, Star Pit and Einstein Intersection are two favorites…
……传播开来，但缺乏的是类似维基百科这种概念——即整体上有一个可信度，但某些特定领域却极不可靠。我能想到的最接近的设定是德拉尼的《掌中群星如沙粒》，书中“通用信息”（由 Web 运营的一个系统）的某些领域是出了名的过时，尽管写成之时大概是准确的。我经常好奇蒂姆·伯纳斯-李有没有读过那本书。
…spread, but what is lacking is the idea of things like Wikipedia where there is an overall level of trust, but that certain subject areas will be much less reliable. The closest I can think of is Delany’s Stars In My Pocket Like Grains Of Sand where some subject areas of General Information (a system run by the Web) are notoriously out of date, but were probably accurate when written. I have often wondered if Tim Berbers-Lee read that book.

……他觉得自己一旦开了头就“欠”作者的，必须读完。我可不这么想。《沙丘》我试了三次才读过第100页，但一旦迈过去，我就彻底爱上了这本书。《掌中群星如沙粒》也是一样：我花了五年多才把那本书读完，它真的很棒。感到“内疚”？别逗了，内疚是留给伤害别人的时候用的。

……绝大多数书都是垃圾。但斯特金定律（Sturgeon's Law）摆在那儿，所以也不奇怪。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law 我读《沙丘》和《掌中群星如沙粒》都是花了好几年才熬过前100页，但一旦跨过去，两本都堪称神作。我之所以一直没放弃，是因为听说它们都很棒，而我一直弄不懂自己到底错过了什么，直到我真正看懂了。依我个人经验，唯一的办法就是……

少年时代读《掌中群星如沙粒》真的把我整不会了，我那个年纪根本不该读那种书。成年之后我又重读了他的大部分作品，经受住了时间的考验，《星坑》（Star Pit）和《爱因斯坦交点》（Einstein Intersection）是我的两部心头好……
