This would have been a solid book, if it hadn't changed directions several times midway through. As it is, it's an amazing book. It's about a prodigy, raised, and home-schooled, by his unmarried mother. His mother won't tell him who his father is, telling him that it's better that he not know. He takes matters into his own hands.

Solid, inventive fantasy. A little grimdark, but not too much so.

This looks like a good first book in Topology, which I've meant to study since my interest in math hit full steam. I made it as far as I could go on just reading the definitions. I'm going to have to start working the problems if I'm to make more progress.

Recently (okay... in June 2001) reread Dune, and was even more impressed than the first time. I remember the series going sharply downhill after that, but I think I'll give it at least a try.

Started. Was underwhelmed. May try again someday.

About how language affects thought.

Browsed at Ken and Heather's. Neat geometric approach to body construction.

First in a trilogy.

Started. Stalled.
