Non Fiction Book
This giant tome of a book is almost as old as I am, and I think the author set out to write something of a cross between an historical math text book, a history of rational logical thought and a sequel to Alice in Wonderland. It's a twisting non-fiction romp through the interconnectedness of playful science and mathematical art, and a worthy read if you can untangle it.

As much as I flip flop around with my reading habits, when I really get into a book I tend to stick with it. Sadly, that wasn’t the case when I bought this tome of a non-fiction book over two decades ago. Something compelled me to tackle it again recently though and I’ve made some serious progress—I mean, not enough to offer a coherent opinion yet, but certainly enough to state here that I’m actually reading this one now. Officially, like.
