Thank you for the wishlistbook! It came today via Bookdepository.

Description from Goodreads: "This masterpiece of science (and mathematical) fiction is a delightfully unique and highly entertaining satire that has charmed readers for more than 100 years. The work of English clergyman, educator and Shakespearean scholar Edwin A. Abbott (1838-1926), it describes the journeys of A. Square, a mathematician and resident of the two-dimensional Flatland, where women-thin, straight lines-are the lowliest of shapes, and where men may have any number of sides, depending on their social status.
Through strange occurrences that bring him into contact with a host of geometric forms, Square has adventures in Spaceland (three dimensions), Lineland (one dimension) and Pointland (no dimensions) and ultimately entertains thoughts of visiting a land of four dimensions—a revolutionary idea for which he is returned to his two-dimensional world. Charmingly illustrated by the author, Flatland is not only fascinating reading, it is still a first-rate fictional introduction to the concept of the multiple dimensions of space. "Instructive, entertaining, and stimulating to the imagination." — Mathematics Teacher"

I seem to have forgotten to journal this after reading it a long time ago. This was an interesting little book. It wasn't like any other book.

Happy Halloween!

Thanks for the book, the Liquorice Cats Paws, the Moomin and Halloween stickers, the cute kitten and books card, BC bookmark, and BC multilingual yellow sticky note. Happy Halloween and Samhain Blessings!

This is a very strange book, clever but hard to read.

Going into the Mixed Fiction Bookbox

Taken from the Mixed Fiction Book Box. I've heard of this book so will be interested to see how I get on with it.

I really tried with this one, but it wasn't for me. Glad I had the chance to try it though. Will try to find an appreciative reader.

And off it goes in the already crossed bookbox. Happy reading!

Taken from the Already Crossed Bookbox.

What an amazing and unique book. As soon as I finished it I read it again to fully understand it. I felt a bit uncomfortable reading about the views on eugenics and women but it was written in the 1800s.
It deals with 1, 2 and 3 dimensions and made me wonder about string theory and the possibility of 10 dimensions.
Great read if you love maths and science like I do.

Passing on to my son.
