Satire. I need to check some annotations on this one. ( )

Very good introduction to thinking about space and dimensions. Should be mandatory reading at school. Except for the sexism and classism. It's supposed to be on purpose, a parody of victorian politics, but as all products of its time, it's likely the writer shared some of those prejudices, at least in part.

Also gave me a good idea of how to find the freaking fourth dimension .D

Every time I even though about picking up this book, I was immediately distracted by some other form of media (TV, phone, other book). It's very cerebral and definitely and older style of writing for which I am not currently in the mood.

A classic, and for a good reason. ( )

More than just an amusing read for anyone interested in math, geometry and physics, this somewhat dry but ultimately funny book is an exploration of the limits of reason, perception, and knowledge, along with social commentary on how such things can shape a society. It explains the math and science aspects of its topic (multiple dimensions), but also touches on issues of philosophy, politics, social class, and religion. While I never found it boring, the writing does get quite dry at times, and readers who aren't interested in math may struggle a little, but it's definitely worth it. ( )
