	PlanetPapers - The Book of Sand
		Borges' The Book of Sand is the story of a man who is visited by a stranger trying to sell a "holy book" called the Book of Sand.
		The narrator looks at the book and is unable to see the first or last pages of it because, as the stranger explains, the number of pages is infinite.
		In The Book of Sand, infinity is depicted in the form of a mysterious book.

		He considers destroying the book by fire, but decides against this after reasoning that such a fire would release infinite amounts of smoke, and asphyxiate the entire world.
		Ultimately, Borges transports the book to the Argentine National Library (of which the real Borges was, for many years, the head).

	Borges' Total Library
		The last story in The Book of Sand, a collection of stories by Jorge Luis Borges, is itself called "The Book of Sand".
		Borges' stories follow that comforting course yet "The Book of Sand" referred to in the story of the same name could also be the book we are reading - the very book disposed of in an obscure library's musty shelves by the story's desperate narrator.
		A book of worth mediates between its promises and the freedom it moves away from; its mediation is precarious.

		As in any book, the information is written in words, with some pictures, and is broken up into individual pages.
		In the end Borges takes The Book of Sand and deliberately loses it, as a leaf is lost in the forest, by leaving it on a random shelf in the great public library of Buenes Aires.

	Book Review: The Sand-Reckoner
		This well researched book is about the young Archimedes and the first siege of Syracuse at 264 BC, during the first Punic War.
		Faced with the terminal illness of his astronomer father and the need to provide for the family, Archimedes has to make the choice between his loyalty to his city, Syracuse, and his beloved Alexandria, between the drudge of engineering and the lofty air of mathematics and exploration of the universe.
		I could not put the book down and have to confess that I read it through the night, a thing that I hardly am able to do any more these days.

		Book Of Sand, at its heart, is a piece - nay, a suite - of classical music; the band combine orchestral strings and classical piano with crunching metal guitars and furious drums.
		Despite the epic leanings, Book Of Sand is lo-fi, almost under-produced.
		The band chose to record the album in a cottage by the coast in Washington State, with the doors wide open and microphones pointing outside to capture the sounds of the wildlife outside.
