AI for beginners (all of us)

Revisado: 08-10-24

I found this interesting and useful for understanding AI and how I might use it. I fear that AI will change/improve so fast that this may be dated in a year or two.

Another "How I Was Successful" book

Revisado: 03-19-24

Patrick Bet-David has read all the best business books. And he has been very successful in business. There is nothing new here except to hear how he applied what he had learned. Entrepreneurs and business leaders are advised to go back to the source materials, those good business books from Jim Collins, Patrick Lencioni, Dale Carnegie, Peter Drucker, Gino Wickman, et. al.

Good but not great

Revisado: 03-19-24

This is the third book in this series and I like the series. But this book had a serious hole in the plot. Details count, when the story has twists and turns, And looking for the clues is part of the fun. This had an inexplicable hole in the plot which detracted from the action.

Fantastic

Revisado: 11-10-23

Walter Isaacson has outdone himself. This could not be more timely. Elon Musk is not only the wealthiest person in history, he is possibly the most influential person currently on this planet. Until now, no one has had this complete of a picture and understanding of this complex, controversial individual.

Finally, Data Driven Climate Analysis

Revisado: 06-10-23

Excellent reading for everyone, regardless of your opinions on climate change. Koonin digs into the details of ALL the climate reports, by all the government and non-government agencies, including the boring appendices, to find the confirmations and the contradictions between the headlines and the actual data.

Long On Action and Holes in the Plot

Revisado: 04-11-23

Starting with the good stuff: Great reading performance, capturing the different voices. This is a long chase and action book with several very hard to believe portions of the plot. The Netflix movie version is much better because it avoids the most absurd plot points. By starting with the first "Gray Man" book, I was hoping to find a series I could get into. Like a James Bond or Jack Reacher. But I will pass on this series and look elsewhere.

Good Biography and Summary of previous Biographies

Revisado: 04-11-23

Revolving around the mysterious death of Edgar Allan Poe, this Biography covers Poe's life, writing, and mysterious and debated death. I learned a lot about one of the greatest American writers of all time. It has inspired me to go back and read more of his stories and poems.

It was Ok

Revisado: 01-28-23

Ok story but the plot has been done before. Too long and drawn out. Could have been crisper.

The "Unauthorized" Biography

Revisado: 01-12-23

Max Chalkin is obviously not a fan of Peter Thiel's politics. And maybe not a fan of anything Peter Thiel. Nevertheless, I was interested in learning more about Peter Thiel and this book satisfied that interest.

Gave me a better understanding

Revisado: 01-12-23

In 1968, I was attending a different small, New England, college. And we also had admitted our first class with a significant number of blacks. Their experience has been discussed at our reunions and my business partner of thirty-plus years was one of those black men. So, I am somewhat familiar with the subject. But this gave me a deeper insight into their experience as well as a reminder of the circumstances and cultural environment of those years.
