Finished the Baroque Cycle!

The Baroque Cycle is a trilogy by Neal Stephenson that has, among its many subplots, the calculus controversy between Newton and Leibnitz. It took me parts of two years to finish, but it was well worth it. In the end, the distinction between the two is that Newton, the alchemist, lives in a continuous world, while Leibnitz, the monist, is ahead of his time, trying to develop the "Logic Mill" - a pre-Babbage mechanical computer.
