What are you reading?] and included a poll on best day and time. I didn't include Friday, because that's when I usually do my Math diary. But I think I will discontinue that --- it's hard to type math in this format, and it wasn't getting that much action.
So, what are you reading? will now be Friday mornings.
(Whoever is in charge of the FAQ should change this).
What am I reading?
Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin. A wonderful joint biography of Abraham Lincoln and his rivals for the Republican nomination for President in 1860. Highly recommended.
I just finished Robert Parker's new Spenser novel, School Days.
I'm reading several books on nonverbal learning disorders, as research for a book I am writing on the subject.
Having just finished re-reading Richard Feynman's "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman" I am going to go on to re-read his "What do you care what other people think?" these are the adventures of a brilliant guy who did not accept conventional wisdom.
I am still slowly working through Stuart Kaufmann's At Home in the Universe.
And, for work, I am reading
Applied Smoothing Techniques for Data Analysis by Bowman and Azzalini
and
An Introduction to Bayesian Inference and Decision by Robert Winkler
