1226550 =P Well, I decided to finally just return the books as it was quite overdue. I only had a small fine, so that was a relief. I guess I'll just have to check it out again when I have more reading time.


message 36: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (new)

1226550 Yay! I got my other copy last week so I can start reading again!!!!!!!!!!!! =)


message 35: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (new)

1226550 Jealous! Jk! =) I was in the 7th chapter, DNA Profiling.

1467942 I was lucky because my library owned it.


message 33: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (new)

1226550 Ugh! My copy wouldn't let me renew it because it was through an interlibrary loan! I had to return it because it was overdue. :( I requested another copy that I hope will get here soon!

1467942 Finished second week of Feb., though I did only skim the chapter of fingerprinting.


message 31: by deleted member (new)

That sounds good.

1226550 Okay, I've really got to get around to reading it! I finished Breaking Dawn so now maybe I can focus on Numb3rs a little more. =P

I've seen A Beautiful Mind! I thought it was good! I really want to read the book! Maybe for the next group read? :)

1759991 I haz read itttt I liked it alot! Expesially the game plan part...I've been wanting to see A Beautiful Mind for a while and now i really want to...:D


message 28: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (new)

1226550 Wow! You're a fast reader! I'm still in Chapter 2 (haven't really been reading it much, obviously). Why don't we start discussing chapter 1 in that thread?


message 27: by deleted member (new)

jUST Finished it!


message 26: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (new)

1226550 Yeah, I'm pretty sure that each chapter is a different show/mathematical concept, so I think we'll try different threads for now and see how it goes. :)


message 25: by Squiggles{Kelly} (new)

1759991 Well, idk what the set up of the book is...but if each chapter is a different topic, then maybe different threads would be a good idea.


message 24: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (new)

1226550 Cool! =D February 1st today, so we can officially start reading it (though I'm already in Chapter 2). Do you think we should just have an open discussion about everything or different threads for each (or maybe 2 at a time) chapter, so that you can discuss about what you've read and not get any spoilers (not that this is really a spoiler book, but...)? What are your thoughts?


message 23: by Squiggles{Kelly} (new)

1759991 Oh! Mine is available!! So I'll prolly get it on Tuesday. :D


message 22: by deleted member (new)

I got mine about a week ago, but I'v been to busy to read much of it!


message 21: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (last edited Jan 30, 2009 12:43PM) (new)

1226550 Yay! I got my copy of the book yesterday! Has anyone else gotten theirs yet? It looks really neat and I only just started chapter 1!


message 20: by deleted member (new)

Yes I did.


message 19: by Leiko (new)

1405856 Hi! And no cryptid didn't! I live with her and use her card! I should know!


message 18: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (new)

1226550 Hey, Lye! Welcome!


message 17: by deleted member (new)

Yes I did.


message 16: by Leiko (new)

1405856 Cryptid didn't put it on hold.


message 15: by Squiggles{Kelly} (new)

1759991 Yeah, it generally is. It depends on which library it's coming from.


message 14: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (new)

1226550 Really?! Your system is fast! I'm hoping to get mine by February.


message 13: by Squiggles{Kelly} (new)

1759991 Probably at most....2 weeks. More like 5 days.


message 12: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (new)

1226550 Yay! How long do you suspect it will take?


message 11: by Squiggles{Kelly} (new)

1759991 Yesh! Done!


message 10: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (new)

1226550 =D


1759991 Yes, but I hadn't tried that yet! I'll go do that!


message 8: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (new)

1226550 It's not in my system either, but I requested it via interlibrary loan. Do you have access to anything like that?


1759991 It's not in my system, I don't think. :(


message 6: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (new)

1226550 Great! How long do you think it will take? I'm going to go request mine right now! =D


message 5: by deleted member (new)

I Just placed it on hold! YAY!!!!!


message 4: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (new)

1226550 How long do you think it will take you guys to get it from the library? They don't have it in my system so it might take me a little bit to get it. Maybe we could read it February/March?


1759991 oOOH that looks cool!


message 2: by deleted member (new)

That sounds fun. The book seems cool.


message 1: by Elaine, Approximately Normal. (new)

1226550 Would any of you like to do a group read/discussion? I thought we could read The Numbers Behind NUMB3RS: Solving Crime with Mathematics by Keith J. Devlin. What do you think?
