Sudoku and Other Book Like Things
Thursday we went to Borders. Dan needed to pick up the next two books in a series he was reading and I’m always up for the bookstore. While we were there I picked up a book with Sudoku puzzles in it. If you don’t know what Sudoku is just click on the word and it will link to an explanation. A basic explanation is it is a number puzzle.
Now it may come as a surprise to some of you, (not sure who, but I am sure it will come as a surprise to someone) I like numbers and math and logic. So a number puzzle is right up my alley. I don’t like crosswords, just random info to throw in here. I do like logic puzzles and the such and Sudoku is sort of a catagory all its own. I am finding getting the numbers to work in the puzzle is a lot of fun. I need to work on it some so I can go faster on them but it is definately a nice way to spend some time and enrich my mind.
On another note. Two more of my books from Amazon Marketplace have arrive. The best part of this is that the two books include the first book I will need for my history course this semester so I am really glad they have arrived. I am still waiting on three books. One of them I have gotten an e-mail about it shipping, but they shipped media mail, which I’m not a great proponent of because it can take awhile for it to get through. The other two I have not recieved info about shipping, but I am hopefully they will show up soon. One of the ones I am waiting for is my logic book for math and I would like for it to arrive so I have some time to read through and review it. The other two are history books, one of them being a book that sells new for $40 give or take, which I was able to purchase for $4.50. So great savings just need it to arrive now.
Friday we headed back to Borders because we had a coupon for 25% off and I wanted to buy Milton’s Paradise Lost. I found a nice copy of it, well two nice copies, but the Penguin Edition was a bit beat up and the hardback edition by some other publisher wasn’t. Unfortunately I didn’t pick it up because the coupon was for 25% off a cd or dvd. Oops, need to remember to read the fine print next time.
Otherwise, I am still working my way through Dante, I hope to finish The Inferno soon and start on the next book and I should finish all three books by the end of the month. I’ll probably start Don Quixote or The Count of Monte Cristo next, but I may just pick up Milton and do him next instead or maybe Chaucer I’ll just have to wait and see what I’m in the mood for.
