What Would Google Do?-A delightfully entertaining book that got better as it went along. The latter third really captured my interest. It talked about quantifying everything, giving consumers the power to input information on everything they bought, ordered, liked, disliked, etc. This kind of model can be extraordinarily powerful and simple to operate.

Calculated Risks-Not one of Gerd Gigerenzer's best. The book read a little monotonous. Still interesting, but not highly recommended.

Life of Pi-I don't usually venture into the world of fiction, but this book had been recommended to me by a few people. I enjoyed it, as fiction goes. The plot was original and the writing engaging. I'd recommend it too, especially to fans of fiction.

Wild at Heart-I'd read this many times, but felt like perusing it again. A lot of the feelings evoked in me by the book are pretty personal so this will be short. I think it's a very worthwhile and important book to read.
