This last in particular made me think that [livejournal.com profile] regyt might like it. Currently I have no plans for it.

I have that last one. It was decent.

Hi Emily! I've been meaning to write to you - I thought maybe we could get together in Feb. sometime. But also, I was wondering if you thought I'd get enough out of the middle book to make it worth my reading. While math and science have always intrigued me, I've never had a natural inclination towards either. Would I just be lost beyond getting any value out of it? And how about Does God Play Dice? Better yet...can you recommend a book dealing with math or science and their natural applications/appearances that I might enjoy?
