School's out
New classes begin on January 17th. I already miss going to classes, but I have a small stack of books to read - "Red Lily" by Nora Roberts (3rd book in the Garden Trilogy), "Fermat's Enigma" by Simon Singh (from my cousin), "The City of Fallen Angels" by John Berendt, "Guns, Germs and Steel" by Jared Diamond (a friend sent me this one and the Berendt book), "Handbook of Mathematical Cognition" ed. by Jamie I.D. Campbell, and more chapters in "Analysis With an Introduction to Proof" by Steven R. Lay. Doesn't this sound like fun?

Getting to read any book would be great.
Ah, but you get cute kids to make your days fun.
I so have to get you Cryptonomicon! I bet you haven't read it yet have you... I read the Fermat's Enigma book quite a while back - I'd have to read it again since I barely remember it *grin*. Lately I've just been rereading old books I have on the shelf - I'm not up for new ones yet. Maybe after Christmas.
Not only have I not read Cryptonomicon, but I'd never heard of it. So I checked Amazon and loved the part in the description that said there was math on every page!
I finished the Nora Robert's today. Think I'll go onto the Fermat book next.
Got anything by Martin Gardner? :-)
Heh - Christmas present on the way. *grin*
Harvey - I've got a book of his puzzles from Sciam on my shelves. A lot of his books look interesting - do you have a recommendation?
Teresa - should I have Joe baking? *grin*
