Please use this thread to post questions, comments, and reviews, at any time.

Is anyone reading this?

I've got ~60 pages left. Enjoying it and also found his decades of determination and focus on the topic very inspiring as a researcher myself. It does get quite technical in bits, though he does make a genuine effort to explain a lot of scientific jargon and techniques.

I'm reading it too, but I'm going slow. However I'm really enjoying it.
