I don’t know why I wanted to read this. I have a superficial interest in wierd math and science, and I thought there would be some neat things to learn. There were a few but this book won’t be on my list of favorites. Aside from basic facts about the number phi and pop culture misconceptions about the number and its secret role in history, the rest of the book read like a math geek’s valentine. I know I want to expand my interests and knowledge, but I may stick with things more interesting to me personally.

I am learning about dirt, water, weeds, pollination, pruning, and pests. Oh yes, pests. My little garden is going well, except for squash bugs and vine borers that have almost wiped out my baby zucchini plants. I should see some harvest, but even if I don’t get anything I feel the experience has been very worthwhile and I have all kinds of new plans for next year.

I realized that once I became eligible for my company’s 401K that would be the same as investing in the market. I got to choose some companies to invest with, set aside a weekly amount to invest, split between stocks and bonds, and so on. As I work with this and learn more I can expand my experiences and make other investments, but doing this meets my goal.
