@GK_Ventures Get well soon!!! “The Order Of Time” by the Italian physicist Carlo Rovelli was fascinating.

Found a few: -Yesterday I read “The Deal of a Lifetime,” a holiday novella by Fredrik Backman. -I’m now reading “Hiddensee: A Tale of the Once and Future Nutcracker,” by Gregory Maguire. (He also wrote the novel version of “Wicked.”) https://t.co/MVICq1HmcC

Honestly, everyone should read “The Midnight Library.” I read it months ago and still think about it at least weekly.

Which David Foster Wallace novel should I read first: “Infinite Jest” or “The Pale King”?

I really need to stop looking at twitter so much at night—it always puts me in a bad mood. Signing off to continue reading @michaelpollan’s “How To Change Your Mind” so I can hopefully finish the whole thing before my book club meets to discuss it on Saturday night!

Last month, @NewYorker published a fascinating piece about the past, present and potential future of the quantum computing race. (Especially neat reading while I’m coincidentally also halfway through @carlorovelli’s book, “Helgoland.”) https://t.co/uZxnstRo1d

@Tobin_Tweets This would have been great light reading when we were there last summer. (I was gonna guess this was from “Boomerang” by Michael Lewis until I re-read your caption.)

Bill Gates says three books about AI have shaped his thoughts on the topic: •Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom •Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark •A Thousand Brains by Jeff Hawkins Who else has read them? I recently started the third & curious about the others. https://t.co/iQ2mEdPteW

Excited to finally start this new book that I bought last weekend. (The plan is to spend a few minutes each day reading about one poet and some of their poems.)
