I don&#8217;t have any bad habits, so my only New Year&#8217;s resolution tends to be to read fifty books in a year. Last year [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My social and academic environments aren&#8217;t exactly intellectually stimulating, so I get most of the programming problems I fill my days with&#8212;and of which the ones that are the most fun to talk about end up here&#8212;from books I read. Since I&#8217;ve already read every interesting sciencey non-fiction book available in Leuven, I&#8217;ve mostly been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Writers of the world: if you&#8217;re going to write about how all of science is wrong, at least have the decency to understand at least one of the specific topics you intend to write about. Every fucking sentence in this book is wrong in some way. She whines about memetics (which apparently says ideas are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I didn&#8217;t quite reach my goal of finishing fifty books this year like I did last year (or my personal record of 200, in 2004). I blame the dearth of good books I haven&#8217;t read yet in the various bookstores I frequent, and the fact that I started taking my laptop to school instead [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve done all my Christmas shopping, and the first family Christmas party isn&#8217;t until some time around New Year. I&#8217;m just not going to leave my bed for a week, I think. In unrelated news, apparently the people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I said I was going to read fifty books in 2007, and I thought I was at 48, but when I was actually making the list earlier (because bored) it turned out I&#8217;d miscounted, and I had, in fact, read fifty. Since it&#8217;s unlikely I&#8217;ll be finishing any of the books I&#8217;m reading right now [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This took a while to finish. In part because I&#8217;m reading too many books at once, but also because it&#8217;s so depressing I had to put it down a few times. Silent Spring, by Rachel Carson, published in 1962, is single-handedly responsible for revitalising the environmental movement around the world. I wanted to read it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Richard Dawkins: How a Scientist Changed the Way We Think is a collection of essays by various people who have been influenced by Richard Dawkins, some famous, some less so. Well, maybe they&#8217;re all famous; I recognised about half of them, anyway, including Marian Stamp Dawkins (his first wife), Daniel Dennett, Steven Pinker, Michael Shermer, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finished these ages ago, but I never got around to reviewing them. John Allen Paulos is the guy who wrote Innumeracy, as I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll remember. Once Upon A Number: The Hidden Mathematical Logic of Stories talks about the relation between statistics and storytelling, in a rather loose sense. He discusses the difference between [...]]]></description>
