Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity by David Foster Wallace
Did not finish book.
I wanted to love this book...I thought it would be a strange--albeit fascinating--look at infinity. A rare math book taught by a brilliant writer. Infinity given the same treatment as the lobster.
But this book was just a little too rambling for it to be interesting. It took math concepts which I love and adore and made me bored. I still love DFW for his essays (he could very well be the type of writer which I only enjoy 20 pages at a time) and I still love infinity. But I might let them stay separate from here on out...this combination just wasn't my cup of tea.
