he does her accent brilliantly
Got this in the mail today from a friend, haven't started it yet- looking forward to reading something non-academic..
Finished Robopocalypse tonight.
Basically World War Z with robots. Good enough but at less than 400 pages really could have done with being a good bit longer. Seemed to skim over stuff, so much so that sometimes it reads almost like a treatment / screenplay for a movie than a full on novel.
went on a spree yesterday.

Interesting take on the factors that influence how certain people excel. Focuses on the premise that circumstance is a more important factor than natural ability. It doesn't discount natural ability but rather stresses the commonality of it. Good read.
Just finished the Steve Jobs book too. It's a good insight into a man that never gave many interviews. For some reason I always assumed he was a coder...apparently not.
"Malcom Gladwell researched in common points of success people on his book 'Outliers'.
Their common point is that they immersed themselves in their field for more than 10,000 hours.
Slow and steady win the game.
'DreamingCat' is with you for accomplishing your dream."
I should look at the wiki entry for the book, but does he really say that..? I reckon I should be sorted by the age of 60 if so.
