Listening to Thinking in Numbers

So, I tried another audio book lately. This was was more cheerful, although a bit esoteric in parts. It was very interesting to hear the author himself reading: he has the strangest accent!
I did enjoy it, but I am not sure why I "read" it.  I thought it was on our Book Club list, but evidently, it is not. Still, I'm glad I listened. It was great to hear someone with such enthusiasm for numbers! Daniel Tammet once recited the digits of  pi for hours and hours, as a performance for charity.

Thinking in Numbers is not all about numbers; there are intersting excursions into history, sociology, writing....

Rereading can be rewarding

I found this one on the shelf at the cottage and thought it was unread. As I got into the introduction and stories, I realized I had read it some time ago. But they were such good stories, I didn't mind at all. It was an exceptional year for F&SF.
If I paid $2.50 for it, I got my money's worth--doubled!
