I've only been reading in french this semester. Just started this book, and I find it quite interesting - surrealism in the late 1920s in Paris.


Also, I've really enjoyed this book:

Written as a memoir of roman emperor Hadrien.

I'm reading King Lear right now. It's great. I think I might re-read Othello soon.

Randall, have you read the Talisman by King and Straub? It's a massive book but it looks good. I've started it but stopped reading a while ago.

there's a biography of marie curie that i want....right now i'm not reading anything, though. i finished machiavelli's the prince last week.

i just finished my second dean koontz book. i liked both of them a lot, but it seems to me that koontz ends things too abruptly.

yeah its a pretty good book for something co-written, and so early in their careers. if you are or ever become a Dark Tower nut then you'll definitely want to check out the sequel to the talisman, Black House. it intertwines the dark tower saga with the talisman story in an interesting way. though if you've never really read into the dark tower series then i dont see how Black House could really appeal to you

Pierre de Fermat was the greatest amature mathematician the world ever saw. Upon his death, they found in his possession a book with a very innocent statement written on it. xn + yn = z n where n>2, no solution. Everyone knows the Pythagorian Theorem (x2 + y2 = z2) and every geometry student proves it to be true but could it be that it would be untrue for any number higher than 2? (x3 + y3 = z3 for example.) No one could find any solutions that fit but that didn't mean there weren't any, so the mathematical community set out to prove it one way or another. 350 years later, no one had found a solution yet but one man, Andrew Wiles, was secretly working on the problem that had facinated him for a lifetime. After eight years of secretive work he finally proved the greatest enigma in mathematics. This book sounds like it might be a book of math (which I would personally enjoy) but it is actually a book about math. It might even be more accuratly described as a story about math that follows the worlds most famous proof from the time of Pythagoras to the present and all the time and thought that it took to prove such an innocent alteration of the Pythagorean Theorem. This book was based on the award-winning documentary film which aired on PBS's 'Nova' series.

it was a good program. <3 nova.
my favorite part was how that guy locked himself up doing hardcore math for more than a year. i can only dream of being worth so much.


lol@ throwing books in the trash. the only book ive ever read then thrown away was tolstoy's resurrection
