cambridge high fives

s i got given two nice books for a recent birthday - the cambridge quintet, a sort of phantasy intellectual foorball match with Haldane, Wittgenstein, Turing, CP Snow, schroedinger et al, asking and trying to answer the big old "Hard AI" question...
the other was the re-issue of the Night Climbers of Cambridge, about the boys-own derring-dos of a bunch of mad students scaling the physical rather than intellectual heights of colleges and other buildings

I wont say which was more enjoyable....
