What Lynn Truss did for grammar in Eats, Shoots & Leaves, Andrew Hodges has done for mathematics. In One to Nine, Hodges, one of Britain's leading biographers and mathematical writers, brings numbers to three-dimensional life in this delightful and illuminating volume, filled with illustrations, which makes even the most challenging math problems accessible to the layman. Starting with the puzzle of defining unity, and ending with the recurring nines of infinite decimals, Hodges tells a story that takes in quantum physics, cosmology, climate change, and the origin of the computer. Hodges has written a classic work, at once playful but also satisfyingly instructional, which will be ideal for the math aficionado and the Sudoku addict, as well as the life of the party."

Definitely not my favorite
Format: Paperback
It was ok as far as Camino memoirs go. Not my favorite and probably won't reread/listen again, like I have several others. The author seemed to like to make fun of people and objectify women. I kept hoping there'd be some kind of epiphany, but the closest we get is when he is relaying a life changing conversation he'd had with someone the previous evening where he learned he needs to see the good in people, but minutes before he'd spent a lengthy time ranting and complaining and disparaging "plastic pilgrims." I listened to the whole thing because I was hoping for some redemption, but didn't witness any.

Buen camino !
Format: Kindle
This book had me hooked from page one. Brad writes in way that brings every scene, character and emotion to life. I loved that his writing style is so original. He is transparent, honest, funny, and thought provoking. I have had thoughts of one day walking the Camino, The only Way West has made me both terrified and excited to perhaps do it one day. I hope we get to see more of this quirky author. Buen camino!

Very Good Read
Format: Kindle
His style goes back and forth from travelogue to poetic prose about the scenery and the people he met. Very engaging writing.

This is the Operator's Manual for current Linux.
Format: Paperback
I recommend this. It is a current edition. If you are new to Linux, you need a solid reference like this, to unleash the Linux potential. Linux has become very friendly in the last few years, and presents a viable option. Don't struggle to learn Linux.
