Still working slowly through King. Loving the Sense & Sensibility adaptation. Starting the audio today. Hope to start Margo today, too. On the Calculation is the only Booker International Longlist book my library has and I‘m trying not to buy new books. The Women‘s Prize Longlist drops the 4th and it may change all of the above 😂

Hooked_on_books I loved On the Calculation. I found it absolutely fascinating. 4h

You would think, since I'm not working, that my numbers for February would be higher, but the stress of not having a job has reeked havoc on my level of concentration. I've got some good interviews lined up this week, so I think March will be a much better month for me.

TieDyeDude I totally get that. Good luck on the interviews! 1d

KadaGul @RamsFan1963, be kind to yourself, and do not lose hope. I totally understand what you‘re going through. Some days, I love to decompress with a good book or an audiobook, and other days, I find it tough to even listen. I wish you all the luck. I know some of my friends are in the same boat as you are. 1d

The author says in the preface that the book should be accessible to anybody with a maths GCSE. Apparently a maths GCSE is more difficult than a maths O Level. I kept my head above water (I think) till Chapter 6 when we hit geometry, which was my downfall with school maths as well. I just skimmed Chapter 7 on estimates and approximations but re-surfaced with the FAQ in the final chapter, which was more about mathematicians than mathematics.

TheBookHippie I still have nightmares about geometry class…😂😩 3w
Bookwormjillk I was a really good math student (if you don‘t count geometry.) 3w
dabbe I'm just the opposite. I adored geometry but was horrible at algebra--especially story problems like the one below.

If a train leaves the station with 5 carts of bananas and drives west for 250 miles, how many mangos does he have? 😂

rwmg @dabbe Since I was already a reader with a penchant for mysteries, I felt I was on familiar territory with algebra and story problems, but as somebody with poor spatial sense it was a struggle to relate geometry and trigonometry to anything I was familiar with. 3w

Just started The Fury, meh so far. Love being back with the Dashwoods in Sense & Sensibility. About half way through Miranda‘s memoir about living with chronic illness. Enjoying it! I loved her character in Call the Midwife and laughed so hard I cried when watching her sitcom. Next up audio will be The Wedding People.
