Pythagoras - by Kitty Ferguson

I have abandoned reading this book. It is unusual for me to do this, but I see no point in continuing with a book if reading it is a chore; that is not the place for reading in my life. I thought that this book might be interesting, as I like biographies - learning about other people’s lives. However, I just found this book hard going. It started out by explaining that very little is actually known about Pythagoras. This made me wonder what the next 350 pages would hold. The answer is snippets of information, anecdotes and speculation. So, after 50 or so pages, I gave up.
