Notes from the Underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky My rating: 5 of 5 stars Disgusting Journey I emphathized with the character, but at some point it became revolting to read the ideations and machinations involving the character's mistreatment of others. One is left to wonder the meaning and purpose behind the character. Well written, short easily consumable chapters. View all my reviews

This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life by David Foster Wallace My rating: 5 of 5 stars Powerful stuff... One could quibble over the truths of this, about free will, about belief, about the psychology behind these ideas, and how Wallace’s tendencies and suicide matter, but it’s one hell of a great speech, very moving, and very insightful.

Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Novel by Ari Folman My rating: 5 of 5 stars Beautiful Rendition I read the original some years ago, and although important and impressive, this later version is more deeply affecting. It is not so much the graphics, although they are excellent, but their pairing with highlights from the diary, showcasing our great loss of this young woman’s light. View all my reviews

Weak Links by Peter Csermely My rating: 4 of 5 stars Many Great Ideas, A Bit Loose Most of this book is rich with ideas on networks, often highly theoretical, but the presentation and possibilities at times hit a a wrong or offensive chord. You may fee similarly, but I would still heartily recommend this book to any one lay reading in systems and networks. View all my reviews

Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language by Gretchen McCulloch My rating: 5 of 5 stars Insights Galore An enjoyable read, filled from beginning to end with insights, and for myself, providing some insights about generational differences, along with details about usage that I was only superficially familiar.

Seven Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli My rating: 4 of 5 stars For the scientifically literate, nothing groundbreaking, but the final chapter does bring up a couple of interesting points, about free will, and about the insights of physics that our general knowledge has yet to incorporate. An enjoyable read. View all my reviews
