I have just discovered the existence of an amazing book!

Origami Design Secrets: Mathematical Methods for an Ancient Art (Paperback)

I’ve been an origami enthusiast for some time, ever since I was laid up in the hospital for three weeks once with nothing else to do, and have memorized quite a few interesting designs. Robert Lang’s created most of my favorites””I actually met him once, at Caltech, when I was stuck on his origami blue crab””and now he’s published a book on designing origami!! I must have it. Ordered it off Amazon.

Between that and the book on social network analysis, it’s going to be quite a stellar month for new readings.
