There's something about a code isn't there, whether it's an undeciphered language (Harappan seals I'm looking at you), a weird statue in the CIA headquarters, wartime secrets, historical mysteries or a Serial killer's nutbag ravings, there's nothing quite like good puzzle to be solved.
I've got a couple of book recommendations, and I'd love to hear yours, or leave your favourite code!
Simon Singh's The Code Book is an engaging read and a great entry into the world of code making and breaking.
The Voynich Manuscript by Gerry Kennedy and Rob Churchill offers some interesting insight into the controversial document. Is it gibberish or is it genuine?
Robert Harris' Enigma, is a fun little WWII spy thriller.
Lastly, if S has only served to whet your appetite, Elona Dunkin's The Mammoth Book of Secret Code Puzzles has a goodly number of challenges to crack.
