Another great publication from Schneier. I love the low-tech references!

Education and very funny.

No tactics. This is just a book of stats.

Some parts are funny, but half of this reads like a bad episode of Rugrats.

My very first programming book.

Very helpful for beginning and intermediate Python programmers. This book is The C Programming Language, for Pythonistas.

Eh. Boring, but it shows how much of Middle Earth is based on Grecoroman myths.

Brilliant.

A great children's introduction to reading.

By and large not that interesting. At one point, text analysis desperately shifts from philosophy to martial arts.

Really interesting stuff.

Everyone should read this book. A few of the examples are UK-centric, but the logical fallacies themselves are easy to comprehend.

The Philosophy and Pop Culture Series is a great idea, but I'm sick and tired of Utilitarianism vs Kantianism text analysis. A more interesting philosophical analysis would consider that Dr. Manhattan's ability to recreate himself without a body implies mind-body dualism.

My first Calvin and Hobbes collection. Outrageously funny!

Now I understand why Watterson fought merchandizing. Calvin and Hobbes is too good to sell out.

Newspaper comics suck nowadays. Calvin and Hobbes is awesome!

I used this book as evidence that a friend's semi-colon should have been a colon. Yes, it's pedantic, but damn it, it matters!

The best thing about this book is the store sign examples. They're hilarious.

The best book in the series. Not too long, not too short, and no boring Sam-Frodo-Gollum passages.

It's easy to tell this is Stephenson's first. At one point, a Japanese character named Sushi K is introduced.

An interesting writing style, but the events themselves are predictable. Also, babies are not that capable.

The go-to book on cryptography for programmers.

The tactics are fascinating. Unfortunately, this book spends most of its time elaborating on the history of warfare scholarship, which is boring as hell.

A good book for young readers.

Eh. Rooney rants on several topics, including whether July should be abbreviated Jul.

Guillen fails at a fundamental level. He maintains that 1) there is no correlation between intelligence and spirituality and 2) that the highest levels of scientists are non-believers. Obviously, smart people can believe in God, but they are far less likely to do so.

Rather than explain this phenomenon, Guillen appeals to the heart, which anyone, including atheists, can do. Study Humanism, Guillen!

The style of writing is funny, but the story itself is simple.

Hand a copy to all IT staff, then another copy to all general staff. This book shows that fooling people is far easier than fooling computer systems.

Eh.

The Adult Swim version is much funnier, in part because it isn't as politically angry as the comic.

Interesting, but it appears the idea has gained no scientific ground. Maguijo is probably wrong.
