Here are 3 reasons why I did not enjoy Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions :eek:
#1 - It's about math...I'm not a very big fan of math.
#2 - It was written in the 1800s and most of the things the say in the book,
people in this century never even heard of.
#3 - And last but not least, IT'S ABOUT MATH!!!
If you have read the book, and you have any comment about it I would like to hear them.

Flatland is a classic. You have a right not to like it, but don't not like it because it involves math.

It involves math!? I'm gonna love it.
I thought it was kind of boring in the beginning part of the book, but the second half was good because it helped explain the concept of dimensions quite well.
Particularly interesting was the inhabitant of the 0th dimension.

What a load of crap that one is.
The business world is changing!!!! OH NOES!!!!!!1111!!!

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of reasons not to like the book, but saying you don't like it because it's got math in it is a total cop-out.

Wasn't something about Flatland used in that Pseudo-Science documentary What the Bleep Do We Know?

That was my exact thought upon reading "It's about math".
