For today’s Coffee Hour lets talk about books that changed our lives when we were young. For me it was a book I read in the seventh grade called Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin Abbott.
So, beyond the fold, I will get this Coffee Hour started by sharing a few things about Flatland. Everyone is welcome to have a cup of our favorite beverage and talk about books that influenced us, dinner plans, or what ever you want to. This is an Open Thread.
Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is an 1884 satirical novella by the English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott Abbott. Writing pseudonymously as "A Square", Abbott used the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland to offer pointed observations on the social hierarchy of Victorian culture. However, the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions. From Wikipedia: Flatland
