Num 53-36 - It's finally over

The readings - Day 57 - Number 35-36

Well, that's it - Numbers is done. I will say this for it: it defied expectations, and that is meant in both positive and negative lights...

On the plus side, there actually were some narrative interludes which I wasn't expecting, so that was good - provided a good break from the statistical ramblings in the rest of the book, and some of the stories were genuinely interesting and well worth reading.

On the other hand, a book of statistics and figures, while boring, is likely to be fairly middle-of-the-road and not hugely incendiary or offensive. Numbers wasn't. It was occasionally boring, to put it mildly, but it was an incredibly challenging read in places, on a variety of levels.
