Another wonderful book.
I once managed to have a surprisingly long conversation at cross-purposes with a technology lecturer about Pascal. I was talking about the author of the Pensees; he was talking about some computer program. |

I remember in the college library actually reading some of this in French. If I remember correctly, I was surprised how much I could understand. It must have a relatively simple vocabulary in the original, or else my memory has warped the experience over the years.
