Rated A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence 8/10
The book is divided into three parts. The first is about the Brain, the second is about Machine Intelligence, and the third about the future existential threats that humanity will face. <br><br>The first part is illuminating. The second one is very interesting: I don’t agree with everything but it is a must read for the future of Artificial Intelligence. <br><br>The third part is a bit at odd with the rest of the bot. It is an interesting collection of discussion point. It is definitely worth reading but there is no real insight. There are a lot of speculations on the far future that should be taken with abundant grains of salt. They are not farfetched, let’s be clear, but every time we try to talk about more than 100 years in the future we are very likely to go in “total speculation mode”. Moreover, I can see that the first two parts came from the expertise of the author, while the third not. <br><br>Anyway, it is a book I really recommended.

Happy National Limerick Day!
A limerick is a five-line humorous poem with a distinct AABBA rhyme scheme and a bouncy rhythm.
Edward Lear (born today) popularised the form in the 19th century, frequently using them in his #Book of Nonsense.
What is your favourite limerick? Feel free to share 😉

Rated Other Heartbreaks 8/10
Achingly authentic, most of the stories concern families coming together for an event, oftentimes a funeral or a wedding. The women are young and old, straight and not, and the men are just as tough and complicated. One doesn't always like them, but they remain interesting.<br><br>Other Heartbreaks is an excellent portrayal of the journeys we take to feel whole — the process we must recognize in order to do so. Henley's work is honest and resonant, and it is work to which I will return again.<br><br>(Full review appears at <a href="http://glorifiedloveletters.blogspot.com/2011/10/other-heartbreaks-by-patricia-henley.html">Glorified Love Letters</a>.)
Today is Daphne du Maurier’s birthday!
Few #writers could create an atmosphere like Daphne du Maurier. Her #stories begin elegantly, then something shifts. A beautiful house can become a prison, love can turn into possession, and silence can be more frightening than a scream. Suddenly you are #reading faster than you planned.
Have you read any of her #novels?
