“I stand by listening to audiobooks as I walk or run. Feed your mind as you tone your body. Listening to “Adapt” by @TimHarford and seeing again that he is one of the best writers to ever exist. His books will last forever.”

“@samiur1204 I enjoyed this book. Such a fun premise!”
“I love Jorge Luis Borges, the Argentine author. His short story collection Ficciones, or Labyrinths, is amazing. Borges is probably still the most powerful author I have read who wasn’t just outright writing philosophy. There was philosophy in there with the scifi.”
“2/2 Great book; Ramanujan is a "mathematical tinkerer" vs Hardy who worked from rulebook. Invites tinkering on Mathematica @stephen_wolfram”
