Look, An Introduction to the Theory of Random Signals and Noise is the best case I've read for letting yourself be a beginner again. Wilbur B. Davenport argues that adults avoid new things because we hate looking bad, and it costs us more fun than we realize. The chapter about a sixty-year-old woman learning to skateboard made me grin and then sign up for a pottery class I'd been avoiding for two years. It circles back to the same point a few too many times. Great for anyone stuck in a rut. Skip it if you want a detailed how-to.

I started An Introduction to the Theory of Random Signals and Noise on a plane and finished it before landing, which is kind of a record for me. Wilbur B. Davenport keeps the pages light and the stakes sneaky, no fluff, no show. It's a snack, not a feast. Perfect for travel, skip if you want something to sink your teeth into.
