I really enjoyed this book. It provided to be prefect for a relaxing end of day chapter or two to reset from the day of work. Each chapter is a mini essay on a particular topic. Naturally some of were more interesting to me than others I am only human after all) but I still enjoyed each and every one of them.
I think my favourite chapters were the ones about Les Murray (who I really need to read more of), about Esperanto (which I've been fascinated by for years - never try to learn it, just fascinated by the mere concept), and about the Manx language (which was completely new to me and fascinating).
I think this one will definitely be a keeper.… (lisätietoja)

All the math references made my eyes glaze, but for the most part, this was a quick, interesting read. Don't let the math keep you away from this book. I just skipped over those parts and I don't feel like it took anything away from the book. I think they needed to be included because it helped the author explain to us what he sees and feels, but it was too much for me. Over all, it's a well-written book and worth the time.
At first, I thought the narrative was a bit too far out there, but it kind of grabs you & it is truly a unique insight into a brain that is wired a bit differently.

That said, it was boring and I'm unlikely to check it out again.
