    Personally, I’m waiting for the Broadway musical version…. But for now, congrats on the paperback!

    I hope when I’m able to calculate your captcha, I’ll understand the book too… the review says it’s written for the general audience and keeping mathematical jargon to a minimum.

    As I’m interested in that kind of stuff, I’ll give it a try.

    Thanks!
