Em V is 42% done with Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams
An interesting set of observations about sleep. Perhaps a bit intense in the opinion, and not
much technicality, but so far so interesting

So far so interesting. Peter Smith does a great job of building up the necessary logical context required to support Godels original argument. It is a quite high level overview, only stopping to dip down into the depths here and there, but as a primer/introduction it is a fantastic spring board into the world of formal logic

Hamming has fantastic perspective, and his thoughts on mental organization are aligned with mine, however his growing arrogance near the end of this book is slightly frustrating and off putting.

Em V is 67% done with A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes
A beautiful high level primer of the most popular sectors of physics. Hawking is one of the best physicists of the recent age, and his ability to describe such complexity in such a beautiful, accurate and simple way is breathtaking.

As I near the end here, this book begins to pivot into life advice for learning, which is truly why I began reading.

This has been the best description and formal definition of control theory I have ever read. Very readable even for a beginner like me!
