I'm reading 'How to think like Sherlock Holmes'. Actually, a very interesting book!

Hellz yeah! And also 2 more after that.. "The Foundation's Edge" and "Foundation and Earth"Originally posted by zeitghostEggcellent choice.
And the 3 Foundation books about Hari Seldon are good too, though Isaac Asimov was too dead to write those.I am Brad. I do more than the needful and drive the market rates up by not bobbing my head.Comment

Wow, thanks for those. Never even knew they existed. I thought you were referring to Foundation trilogy!Originally posted by zeitghostI was referring to:
Foundation's Fear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Foundation's Triumph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and
Foundation and Chaos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Would be interesting to read them all in chronological order.
But I'm not going to live long enough.

Foundation was the one Asimov thing I didn't read as a kid/teen, not sure why. I read the first (based on time of writing) recently and then got audio books of the others from a free Audible trial, but I couldn't keep concentration when listening an hour here and there. Must pick up a set but I prefer reading on the Kindle and object to paying £7 for something I could get for £50p in any charity shop.Originally posted by zeitghostEggcellent choice.

Serious: "Bayesian Reasoning and Machine Learning" by Barber. Excellent.
Light: "The Private Sector", a forgotten spy thriller by Joseph Hone. So-so.Hard Brexit now!
