Infinity? I dunno.

I read the book, How the Universe Got Its Spots. I wasn't feeling like reading anything sad so I thought some physics in the form of a booked up blog (my word not hers. The entries are written more like letters.) seemed like a good idea.

Obligatory review: Well I won't spoil anything, but when you read about somebody's life it's reading about somebody's life. It's real. Life? real. She had the nerve not to cut the sad parts. She didn't go into detail but you get a feel for what she's like. So I was looking to avoid sad fiction and I got sad real. I think that's out of the frying pan and onto the white gas hiking stove burner? (I really burned myself on one of those once, I'm still healing apparently.)

Also: While I don't know enough about physics to decide if she's right or not. To be fair she doesn't know either. It's certainly a very interesting read. I mostly enjoyed the beginner's look at topology.
