Think Like a Freak by Steven D. Levitt

Think Like a Freak: The Authors of Freakonomics Offer to Retrain Your Brain by Steven D. Levitt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

None of the ideas to "think like a freak" are really new. Coming at problems or questions from a different angle. Approaching an issue with fresh eyes (like a child). The book is told in such an interesting way that it is still a very enjoyable book. From my personal experience, an education or experience in a line of work that involves routine problem solving (science, engineering, programming, etc.) would expose you to these concepts.

City at the End of Time by Greg Bear

City at the End of Time by Greg Bear
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

So confusing. What was this story about? I couldn't put it down; I had to finish it. The character development was okay. It focused on some characters, but sort of glossed over some of the main characters. Can you even say this story had main characters? It's about beginnings and endings and gods and chaos and nothing and everything. It's a weird story.
