Let me review it out of 5 first - 10/5. It is one of the best thrillers I have ever read. Now, I say that about pretty much every book, don't I, tsk .. tsk.

The Tenth Muse – A book review
This book was un-put-downable. I give it a 3/5. Huh? you say? Let me explain. Catherine Chung (the author) is a mathematician herself and sets out to write a story connecting mathematics and life.

We were watching The ShawShank Redemption recently and hubby was in tears. He is like that. All it takes is a song, a speech or something beautiful to move him to tears. Kiddo and I have a code word for it "Waterworks". On the other hand I am stoic. I have been asking myself this … Continue reading About the Bald Eagle
