Holiday Reading

I received a big pile of books for christmas, and was so excited I seem to have begun three of them more-or-less at once -- I seem to be saving the fiction for later. I'm reading:

  • Lipstick Traces by Greil Marcus
  • Imagining Numbers by Barry Mazur
and I just finished
  • Mathematics and the roots of postmodern thought by Tasic.

[Note: in my original post, I misspelled Tasic's name -- argh...]

It is worth pointing out that I was reminded to read Lipstick Traces by the (fun!) review of Tasic's book by Michael Harris in the Notices of the American Math Society; this review can be found here: Postmodern at an Early Age (http://www.ams.org/notices/200307/rev-harris.pdf)
