「ガリレオの苦悩」読了

「ガリレオの苦悩」読み終わった。コロナにかかり静養中にバンバン読めるかなと思ったけど、喉が痛すぎて読書を楽しむなんて余裕はなかった。まだ喉の痛みは少しあるし、耳まで痛いけれど、だいぶ良くなり、今は、咳が目立った症状。オンラインでワークショップをしていると感染の心配がないので、助かる。

さて、ガリレオの苦悩のお話トリックが難しいけど、こんな頭脳を持ってみたいものだと憧れる。しかし、湯川先生、ご自分の研究と捜査協力の両立、ほんとに可能なのだろうか？頭のいい人は無駄がないからできるのかなぁ。実際には難しいと思うわ。

I finished reading *Galileo's Anguish*. I thought I’d be able to read a lot while recovering from COVID, but my throat hurt so much that I couldn't enjoy reading at all. My throat is still a little sore, and now my ears hurt as well, but I’m feeling much better. The main symptom I’m dealing with now is coughing. It’s really helpful that I can conduct workshops online without worrying about infecting anyone.

As for *Galileo's Anguish*, the plot tricks were quite complex, and I found myself admiring such a brilliant mind. But I wonder, is it really possible for Associate Professor Yukawa to balance both his research and his work assisting in investigations? Maybe highly intelligent people can pull it off because they don’t waste any time. Still, I think it would be quite difficult in reality.
