I didn't get a lot from this book but it did confirm my hunch that the ability to focus deeply is a practiced skill, and I enjoyed some of the practical advice on ways to achieve it.

For me this started out super interesting with lots of good stories but I got bogged down near the end with the stories of hunting pig and mushrooms. Overall I liked the concept of the book and the effort to make a meal that one harvests themselves and enjoyed reading this.

Super great review of statistics with examples to illustrate the concepts. This book makes me want to read his other books even though I'm not as interested in the topics – he does such a well done job of explaining the ideas.

A fun short story, somewhat predictable end. But I enjoyed the ideas of simulations to achieve new discoveries.

I didn't think I'd find this book so fascinating but the author has a way of putting you in the context of 1850's London and letting the story of the outbreak unfold around you. Very well done and an interesting read.
