I finally finished Flatland. My lord for such a short book you have to take in alot of information. I have to say it got better when you went out of Flatland. It was very interesting and you can interchange something from history if you think abou the time it was written and what was going on. I really liked that historical element, not so much that they used math (of all things) but I understand why. Math is universal.

Book Club outside of the Book Club
Allison and I have formed a book club outside of our book club, picking books we would love to read but knowing we probably won't get to them. We eached picked 6 books and pulled each title out from a cup. Each book was for one month out of the year.
Well one of my pickes was Flatland by Edwin A Abbott. It is literally 82 pages. It was, like, the March pick. Of course we are now in August. Still have not finished it.
So Cara, her almightly self, I guess got tired of us complaining about how was can't seem to finish it. Went out and bought. Finished it in two days. Only difference is her copy was a 147 pages. So now she thinks she can gloat and says she really enjoyed it. The guy loved his big words.
I am not saying it is a bad book. It is actually really interesting. Its not mind-consuming and one of those books you should read out loud. Just not while taking your morning walk. Too much breath.
Allison and I will finish this book and then finally move on to the next pick. Bitter is the New Black by Lancaster!
Wish us luck
