1. I was out sick yesterday, caught a cold, and I have noticed that taking a day of rest when I first catch a cold tends to keep it from getting worse. So I had a day of relaxation, slept and read pretty much all day. Since I have not fixed my PC at home yet I am off line when I'm at home.
2. So Yesterday I plowed through most of this book: Super Crunchers: Why Thinking-by-Numbers Is the New Way to Be Smart By Ian Ayres which is really interesting. I don't know enough to say what he is talking about is wrong necessarily. But it does place an interesting twist on some things that happen in ordinary daily life. I would strongly recommend this book, although it would best borrowed from the library, I don't know if it has the potential to be a good book to own and go back and re-read.
3. One of the other things I did last weekend was go to the Library, picked up a replacement card and picked up this book: House of Chains (The Malazan Book of the Fallen, Book 4 by Steven Erikson This is the 4th book in an excellent fantasy series. It is not the easiest series to read (although this is probably the best one as far as getting into at the start). But it is without a doubt the most in depth, layered fantasy setting I have ever encountered. Again, these are thick books, not for the casual reader, but well worth the read if you can get into them.
