Not A Wake: A dream embodying (pi)'s digits fully for 10000 decimals Kindle Edition

by Michael Keith (Author), Diana Keith (Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition
"Not A Wake" is a collection of poetry, short stories, a play, a movie script, crossword puzzles and other surprises, constructed according to a unique principle: counting the number of letters in successive words of the text (the first word has 3 letters, the next word has 1 letter, the next word has 4 letters, and so on) reveals the first 10,000 digits of the famous mathematical number pi (3.14159265358979...).
