Happy New Year everyone! 🎆 My stats for 2025.
#GoodreadsYearInBooks
More people should read If You Were Here. It was a novel with time travel and'80s nostalgia.
One observation, Last year I read 119 books and I was a top 10% reader. This year I read 76, and made it into the top 5%.
Are people just not using Goodreads or not reading this past year?

If You Were Here
panSnoozer. Maybe a mathematician would like it. I stuck with it hoping I‘d get something out of it.😫The author rambles without solid facts, contradicts herself, and mislabels issues as big data. It feels more like bandwagon rhetoric than real analysis.
pickFascinating, informative, and a bit scary.

pickThis is an interesting look at data science and how it can be used and misused, based on your perspective. Fascinating. But not entirely surprising.

pickAwesome intro to how data models can inadvertently (or advertently) screw individuals and society over. Was going to be a great prelude to a data training but then the rona hit.
Leapt to the top of my TBR list as soon as I saw it.
Quick summary of good practices when coding using Python.
I'm currently in the section of the book covering the us news and world report impact on college admissions. I want to dig more into the industry that rose around this, anyone know of further reading on this? This feels similarly systemic as the tax prep market and the inefficiencies in health care.
