Be careful not to spill the coffee, is really funny (in pdf and epub format here to download):
The basic laws of human stupidity
I heard the original script for the movie the Grudge was just a list of the players and teams you hold 30 year grudges for but the film was going to be too long so they turned it into a silly horror flick.
What I found interesting is that the year Gibby was drafted the Mets had 4 first round picks and they picked Strawberry first but also picked Billy Beane, John Gibbons back to back and just in front of Beane and Gibbons the Expos drafted Terry Francona.
What are the chances that 3 big name baseball managers/executives get drafted back to back to back?
Haha no. John Gibbons, former Met (try not to hold that against him), and 2x Blue Jays manager. I bought the book for my dad for his birthday and he said it was good so I borrowed it. It's ok.
I still find myself digging out an odd book of his, opening to a random page, and getting lost in his work. They will always hold a special place on my bookshelf. He was the reason I got interested in reading. Have fun.
long scale perspective on the coolness of humans (AGIs in general), the idea of the multiverse. A pop-sci book from a giant in the field of quantum computing (Deutsch in quantum computing is comparable to Hawking in astrophysics)
Depends on.. If I wish to understand how money works and thus society then I read the Bitcoin Standard from Saifedean Ammous. If I wish to understand more about my self then I may choose to read White Fire from Mooji.

He saw the trend humanity was going down so vividly, actually wild.
man it is WILD how tapped in he was. something about being so close to the edge of insanity that seems to give a person "insights" from beyond...

I am reading Gibby- Tales of a Baseball Lifer. You said any topic counts.
For a minute I thought this was a Kirk Gibson memoir- another guy for whom I hold a many decade grudge.

Well, he's no Lanny McDonald.

Always helps me refocus. Simplifies what often seems so complicated
It's great but it's a tough read.
Worth it though
Absolutely.
