So you like a book
because it introduced you to a single theory?

I don't think you can give the book ANY credit for that. FFS, pop music follows the Golden Ratio! All the DVC did was describe it in easy, monosyllabic words...

Sorry, this sounds like I'm having a go at you Mobi. I'm not, I just think that book is fucking dire.

Bit of a silly thing to say really...
...I read a book that talked about something Id not heard of before, so I decided to learn more about it, which in turn lead to me wanting to read more science/math theory books...

If you'd never heard of the Golden Ratio, how would you know pop songs follow it..? Everyone has to find about something from a single source to start out with...

Yes, I recognise that
But saying that a certain book is good simply because it introduced you to a theory is slightly odd. I'm just saying that it's the theory you like, not the novel which used it.

EDIT: I found out about the Golden Ratio in high school. My opinion of said school did not improve.

I think
it's quite a nice story; intrigue, fraud, excitement...but seemingly written by a four year old blind kid.
