The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

the boys said they thought I'd be interested and

1. "it's a confusing irrelevant fictional book about intergalactic cosmic travel that does not make much sense"
2. "you'll be wonky like us"

considering how wonky I already am (2) shouldn't be a problem and so far this is a pretty fun book

                                                                              Blink

Psychology of quick instinctive judgements from thin-slices of experience, importance and dangers of snap judgements. Great explanations and case studies provided. Really insightful and applicable!
