The Mary Sue Books and More Club discussion

Spoilery discussion thread for The Trilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage, will run through February.

Now that I've finished it and read it through with/without footnotes and endnotes, I've kind of come to the conclusion that I liked it more for the footnotes and endnotes than the comic strips. I know that's weird.

A few of the comics were pretty fun and a couple were just meh. There was such a small number of actual comics too, and the book was swallowed up by the notes. It really showed the passion/obsession of the author, Padua, and is one of the most obviously researched writings I've ever read next to a scholarly paper!

None of these things I'm saying are bad things, and I really enjoyed this book; only surprisingly for the notes and research rather than the comic alone.

and some of those math puns.. wow and lol. I had a math professor that was always making math jokes and this took me back.
