Talking of maths, there was this really wonderful maths book I read recently( that is, two months ago :)) It's called 'A Certain Ambiguity' and it's written by two Indians(I forget their names unfortunately). It's a relief to find a book written by Indians that I actually feel like reading again. The only other book by an Indian author I read which I really liked was 'The TamBrahm Bride' by Kaushalya Saptarishi.
TBB is a light-hearted read, and I think will be really taken to by all Tamil Brahmins out there, as well as everyone else. ACA is for anyone who has an interest in maths, or philosophy, or both. It's not highbrow in the least, and very, very interesting. I couldn't study for my exam properly because I was so absorbed in reading it.
My sister is reading 'The Interpretation of Murder' and I want to read it because it's connected very greatly with the subject I'm studying, psychology. But she says it's rather disgusting, and I think I can believe her because Freud was known to have researched the darkest part of the human mind. I don't really want to know in any detail the horrible crimes humans can get up to, or anything about the darker side of human nature, so I'm just going to get along with 'normal' psychology. I'll have enough to deal with anyway next year when I do 'abnormal psychology'. It'll probably be interesting, but kind of creepy too, studying criminal minds. Well, when it comes, let's see.
