New books

I think I went a bit overboard these past few weeks on books. I bought…

  1. I, Robot by Isaac Asimov (R160 from the Book Lounge).  The book is nothing like the movie so far.  Alfred Lanning isn’t dead yet.  The way Herbie “played” Peter Bogert against Alfred Lanning could have had devastating consequences.  Poor Dr Susan Calvin was in love with Milton Ashe who was marrying someone else.  But my favourite stories are the ones with Mike Donovan and Gregory Powell:  with the drunk robot and lack-of-personal-initiative robot.
  2. False River by Dominique Botha (R198.44 from Kalahari.net)
  3. How to Solve it by George Polya (R226.47 from Kalahari.net)
  4. 50 Mathematical Ideas you really need to know by Tony Crilly (R315 from Exclusive Books)
  5. Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson (R120 from Exclusive Books)
  6. A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens (R53 from Exclusive Books)

No bother though, I love books.
