In the same manner as I use to comment movies I’ve seen I am gonna start it for books now, even though this will happen by far less often.
Anyway… During my holidays in Greece I read a book written by Daniel Kehlmann called “Measuring the World”.
It’s I nice book about Mr. Gauss (the one with the distribution, etc.) and Mr. Humboldt (the brother of the founder of my university) that Troels recommended to read.
It’s originally a German book, that’s why the picture/link is German. For all others heres the English link even though it’s on the German Amazon.
