It has been a very long time since I have read 3 books this fast. It would take up far too much of our brainpower if we didn't have habits -- another thing I learned from this book.. Thank you Ms. fine. Her name was Melody."
As if I needed further convincing, this comment reminded me of what a powerful story Out of My Mind is. It's like a well-done extended article in "Trains" or "Railfan" magazines that you don't want to put down. So I had no intention of liking this book when I started reading. After finishing A Song of Ice and Fire Series, I went into GRRM withdrawals. Even for the inexpensive Kindle price it is not what you are expecting. Computations of the case of a sphere bundle are given, and the role of orientability and the Euler class in giving the existence of a global form on the total space is detailed. So, instead of eating candy, you just go chat with friends on purpose, or you eat a better form of food to satisfy low blood sugar, or whatever.
