Books I Like page
  • Origami and Math - John Montroll: I like origami and I like math, so this book is like heaven for me. Easily my top favorite origami book of all time.

  • 1984 - George Orwell: The book that Amazon erased from people's Kindles... 😬

  • What If? - Randall Munroe: The What If? blog but as a book, and the best way to blown the mind of fourth-grade me.

  • The Elements - Theodore Gray: Lovely periodic table book with large beautiful pictures except the author sadly didn't try to nearly kill himself by photographing the highly radioactive elements.

  • Lies My Teacher Told Me - James Loewen: I can't decide if this book is more interesting or Wikipedia's weirdest history articles.

  • The Code Book - Simon Singh: The book that got me into cryptography, except I lost it after a week after bringing it everywhere.

  • The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams: A book so creative that it defies the limits of human creativity. Seriously, read this if you want every 42 joke to actually make sense.

  • Gödel, Escher, Bach - Douglas Hofstadter: An amazing math book that I received as a present recently even though I'd already read the book a few years ago. Oh well.
