For our reading plesure...
For our reading pleasure.....
My plan is to keep here links to various texts available on-line which
I find interesting. These texts will not be very much related to mathematics
and /or teaching or other aspects of my job (as those which are related to
math are presented / linked
someplace
else ). I do not plan to verify regularly if the links here are
still alive etc...

the list (with the newest on top).
