iCon

Being a closet Steve Jobs fanboy, I have to admit I couldn’t put this one down.  The book runs from Steve’s childhood through Disney’s acquisition of Pixar, so no mention or even allusion to the Jesus phone.

How to lie with statistics

This book is very light, being 100 or so half pages, but it is quite dated with all of the examples being from the 20s through 50s.   The concepts are obviously the same and the book itself is a good refresher on the most basic principles of statistics, but it really could use a “modernization” update (I realize the author is probably either ancient or has passed away.)
