Just starting "India Calling: An Intimate Portrait of a Nation's Remaking".

Sounds interesting; who's it by?

Just starting 'Plato at the Googleplex' by Rebecca Newberger Goldstein

Hi Dr. Just saw this so my apologies for the delay. The author is
Anand Giridharadas. He's a writer for the NY Times. I highly recommend the book!

Thanks!

[DrT999]

Just started "The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail, But Some Don't." By Nate Silver.

I thought it was fairly interesting, if a bit self-serving in spots.

Just started "Poland" by James Michener.

I love Michener.  I had a history teacher back in early high school use The Source as a reading assignment - one (mammoth) chapter read and analyzed each week.  At the time, it was misery...I went back and reread the book in College just for kicks and was hooked.  Now I can't get enough of him.  Alaska, Texas, and Caravans are my favorites (but honestly, they're all darn good).

"The Source" is an excellent book, and I agree with you...they are all darn good. I think my next one will be "The Drifters".
