Bayesian Heresy’s Friday Book Club



I’m starting a new series- Fridays Book Club. Every week we would discuss a book on the blog- for the coming weeks it is The Prize by Daniel Yergin.

The prize for the most regular commentator on the blog over the course of a year is any book from the person’s wish list on Amazon (the price of the prize has to be less than 100 dollars).

The Rules- the person has to read at least 100 pages of the book assigned for the week- for the next week it is the first 100 pages of The Prize.

I read "The Prize" and parts of "The Commanding Heights". The first is excellent I think and the second seems average. I think that this is a good choice.
