Kfamily Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) I'm trying to improve my own education and would like to read a few books that connect math, philosophy, literature, art, etc. and how to find the beauty in these subjects. I would be (hopefully) getting some of these for Christmas.:001_smile: Would anyone please help me make some good selections? I would appreciate any help. Also, if you have any other suggestions or better ones, I would love to know about these too.What do you think about the books linked? I would like a good book on ethics but saw so many online that I couldn't even decide where to start with this book.

Kfamily Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 This one looks really interesting too. I'm going to add that to my list.
