grip is also known amongst the non-cyber world as Lawrence "Larry" Bryan. 
He teaches mathematics at San Jose City College. Larry reads a lot of 
different things, from space time physics (he's struggling through a book 
by Penrose and Hawkings at the moment) through modern history, ("The Dark 
Sun", a history of the development of the H bomb), to various literary 
master (and not so master) pieces. He just started a translation of 
Celine's "Death on the Installment Plan" where on page 20 he has just 
read, "For fifteen years now they've seen me struggling along out here in 
the Zone; the dregs of the dregs take liberties with me, show me every 
sign of contempt." Yes, zone was capitalized in the book. hmmmmm.

Anything else you want to know, just ask.
