Huge upvote for Carlos Bueno's Lauren Ipsum (aka HN'er aristus).<p>I first heard about this book on HN (<a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2144526" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2144526</a>), when it was just a few chapters. I read them to my daughter, Laurel. She thought it was soooo cool and told him so. He actually wrote in a bit part about Lauren saying "My name's not Laurel!" and sent Laurel an autographed copy.<p>My kids went on to read the whole book with my parents over VTC (is that the category for FaceTime and Skype?), and it was a huge success. My mom happens to be a college math teacher and has turned a number of other faculty on to the book.<p>For those interested in this genre, there is also Computational Fairy Tales (<a href="http://computationaltales.blogspot.com/p/book.html" rel="nofollow">http://computationaltales.blogspot.com/p/book.html</a>)
