+Connie Converse is an very interesting character, and this book gives a really details backstory of both her early life up to her strange disappearance. If you've
+not heard Connie's music I recommend starting with 'How Sad, How Lovely'. Her songwriting was miles ahead of her peers, those 'folky' types shackled by tradition.
+
+There are some surprising moments and a few theories on her disappearance that leaves you with questions. Overall I thought the book was well researched and
+is a great introduction to the world of Connie Converse.

+I am half way through this book so far, it's fascinating. Covering the beginning of code/bits/bytes up to modern computing. It has illuminated some points of computing that I have not covered for some time. More on that soon.
+
+I think I hit a bit of a roof on this one when it started to get super techincal, I decided to take the second half a bit slower.

+In Progress... Still in progress.

-So far this book is awesome and intriguing. I have only read the first few chapters and listened to her music for sometime, but hadn't been aware of her strange career.
