This was a real eye-opener. I was sort of obsessively organized before (or tried to be). This book made me consider the costs of organizing in time and money and reassess how much time I spend trying to fight entropy.

Reminded me that (1) correlation doesn't equal causation and (2) just because a piece of data is measurable, that doesn't mean it is the right thing to measure.

This book was hard to read, especially in the short bursts I had available. It moved a little slowly and made me feel a bit like the narrator as I read the flow of his thoughts. I realized that stylized first person narration is not for me.

The Omnivore's Dilemma

This book is absolutely amazing. I don't think about food, especially corn and food from animals the same way. It became really important to know where my food comes from, even though that is a hard thing to do.
