In college my predilections changed to a more of this world and of our era sort of story, although I've continued to enjoy good effects-driven space movies. ![]() I would eat up stuff like CassaStaR when I was a young lad. I don't think I've read anything like this since I was a kid, and I used to be a big scifi reader. I'm not a big fan of outer space and star wars type stories. Let me start with the negative part of this review. ![]() Fool Me Twice by Mandy Hubbard6/7/2023 ![]() His most recent memory is of last summer, when he and Mack were still together, so now he's calling her pet names and hanging all over her.

Ren doesn’t know what is going to happen next, and neither does the reader. Ren’s porous sense of reality (and Choo’s smart use of the present tense) gives his passages a propulsive vitality that grips the reader’s attention. ![]() Choo’s skill in creating a dynamic, vibrant, non-Western cosmos rivals that of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in Half of a Yellow Sun.

Instead, what author Yangsze Choo has given readers is a darn good yarn. The Night Tiger is a galloping good read that’s blessedly free of political polemics and post-colonial self-righteousness. ![]() The undoing project book summary6/6/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() They became heroes in the university and on the battlefield-both had important careers in the Israeli military-and their research was deeply linked to their extraordinary life experiences. The Undoing Project is about a compelling collaboration between two men who have the dimensions of great literary figures. Kahneman and Tversky are more responsible than anybody for the powerful trend to mistrust human intuition and defer to algorithms. Their work created the field of behavioral economics, revolutionized Big Data studies, advanced evidence-based medicine, led to a new approach to government regulation, and made much of Michael Lewis's own work possible. Their papers showed the ways in which the human mind erred, systematically, when forced to make judgments in uncertain situations.
