But I understand the beautiful simplicity and straightforwardness of sums and mathematical theorems. Still, I much prefer literature and english. This book sounds like a melding of the two in some ways. I like to read gentle, beautifully written stories occasionally. They're a nice contrast to many of the chaotic, complex dramas and character-laden, twisted plot books I seem to read often.<br /><br />Thank you for a wonderful review of this book. It has such a pretty cover, too.<br />~ AmyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-91433972743023261432011-01-18T09:28:10.169-08:002011-01-18T09:28:10.169-08:00Loved this one as well....I'm another blogger ...Loved this one as well....I'm another blogger with math anxiety.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-70412511561634560062011-01-18T08:30:22.785-08:002011-01-18T08:30:22.785-08:00I too rocked at math until...
