The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets: Reviewing Simon Singh’s Most Playful Book
Simon Singh is one of my favourite non-fiction writers and I have previously read three of his books. Of those three, two I would count amongst my favourite non-fiction books (Fermat’s Last Theorem and Big Bang). The third – Trick or Treatment – I would still highly recommend as a book that ought to be widely read for the practical benefit it could make to your life. What makes Singh a great non-fiction writer is his ability to deal with complex subjects and explain them in a way that makes them comprehensible to the general reader as well as infecting the reader with enthusiasm for subjects which might otherwise be too dry and intellectual to be engaging for most.

"The Code Book" by Simon Singh is still teaching history, but now it is going into the workings of the Enigma machine. This is melting my brain as it is one small thing after another. #SimonSingh #Books

"The Code Book" by Simon Singh combines coding cyphers and historical events. The book's latest is a buried treasure story where a guy called Thomas Beale mined $20 million of gold and silver and hid all about it in a locked box to be opened after his death. #Books #SimonSingh #TheCodeBook #Cyphers
