Some books are meant to be read hard and fast, in just one sitting.

Here’s the book I am reading now: Cogwheels of the Mind—The Story of Venn Diagrams, written by the mathematician A.W.F. Edwards.

It’s only 94 pages long, packed full of both lovely graphics and stories about John Venn.

It’s also an easy read. I am only one coffee into it right now, and I am taking a break to write this post on page 43.

Finally, if you use Venn diagrams (as I thought I had been doing in my writings about ikigai!), it’s a conceptual interesting book; trust me, you will never look at Venn diagrams, tennis balls, and the flags of Japan and Greenland the same way again.

Three cheers for easy to read, less than 100-page books!
