The Nate Silver book can sometime get a little to in depth and I occasionally found myself in the weeds. But the information and ideas he presents are interesting. I like hearing about the things in life that no one really thinks about. He mentions the estimated amount of data being provided each day, and its a staggering amount.

I remember when The Wisdom of Crowds was first talked about and I said "I need to read that" well now 8 years later and I havent picked it up. I just put it on my list of to-read, hopefully I can get to it soon. Let me know if you read it and what you think.

Hello,

I'm Jared, I help out with some of the behind the scenes stuff that goes on. I just wanted to drop a line to everyone since I dont think I ever officially introduced myself.

I do enjoy reading but it seems my tastes are what some would say pretty bland. I prefer to read non fiction. Malcolm Gladwell, Nate SIlver are some of my more recent authors. I dont have as much time as I use to have so I am mostly using audio books on my ride to and from work. Superpower...kinda like what they did in the Matrix plug in and absorb all the information on any topic in 5 seconds.

Let me know if something isn't working on the site or if you think we should add or tweak anything to the site. Send any requests to change the sites to feedback.classics@gmail.com . If you want to talk about "boring" non fiction stuff shoot me a message here on goodreads.
