I have a nice copy of Our Mutual Friend (I think that's the title -- the one about the man who made a fortune with a rubbish pile) that my daughter read at Harvard, presumably on assignment. Every twenty or thirty pages there is a penciled calculation, something like this: 534-113=421.

I think she would have loved the Kindle time-remaining feature!
