Well, I’ve never read a book for so long. I started reading Bram Stoker Dracula in February and could tell that it’s a very long book. However, the plot of the book and the main bad character was pictured so well that count’s name is known to everyone now even if you have never heard […]

Trading
On the weekend I looked through Alexander Grechik book for traders. As usual in non-fiction books, a lot of space is filled with success description and advertiments of his own course, altough there is a lot of interesting things in it.
The Testaments
I’ve just finished the Testament book by Margaret Atwood and I liked it. I like anti-utopia books in general and that’s one of them. During the reading, I realized that it’s the second book in the series. However, you could enjoy it even without reading the first book (The Handmaid’s Tale).
Data Science and Books
Last week I completed R basic course on EdX by Harvard University. It is not as challenging as John Hopnins’es course, but well-organized and with lots of examples. The only bad thing happened at the end of the course when they raised the certificate price from 49 to 149 dollars. At first, I was sure […]
AMC library

Halloween party
I’ve finished another book from Litress library site. This time it was a detective story Halloween party by Agatha Christie. It was quite hard to read this book full of old-fashoin words. So my list with new words to leard expanded dramaticaly. Though I was rewarded with a nice plot and some witty thought of […]

Nudge Yourself
I wrote couple days ago about Nudge book I have read.. The main idea that people are full of flaws and they need help. It could be government assistance (like imposing taxes on harmful substances, or even banning them). Or it could be a society help. Good example of the last one is web site Stickk.com. As a […]
