Book Reviews
![]() TS commented my entry on M. C. Escher: 'I guess you have read the book "Gödel, Escher, Bach..." by Douglas R. Hofstaedter. Recommended.' Yes, it is a nice book. However, I was already familiar with Gödel and Escher before reading the book, which made it a bit too repetitive. But as a book it is highly recommended, a great non-fiction book. Last year I reviewed the book M. C. Escher's Legacy - A Centennial Celebration (the review is available in Finnish). If you know a bit of mathematics and are interested in M. C. Escher, have a look at this nice collection of articles.

![]() Alaska Ski for Women - 2004 Edition: "This morning, my buddy Dorothy and I did the Alaska Ski for Women. We had a great time. And the weather was not bad at all: sunny, 15 degrees, and no wind. Through the years, I've done that race in some very nasty conditions." [The Slat Rat Chronicles]
