In some of my spare time this last week I've been reading David Foster Wallace's Everything and More, a story about infinity and it's history.
Tis a darn good read, `specially given my vaguely mathematical background. I find the idea of infinity interesting, and it turns out to be an important, almost crucial, to the analysis I often find myself doing. Historical perspective and contextual understanding really helps. Hence, I'm taking lots of notes, and am hoping to write up a review at some stage.
I'd like to add that the Prime Ministry Obama having a sense of humour only adds to his appeal. Though he is probably an Arab.
