I remember seeing Small Worlds and thinking it would be a good read. I had forgotten about it. I read Sync by Strogatz and fount it fascinating. It actually lead to a trading system, but I couldn't get it to work at the time.Quote from lucky lucille:

Quote from nitro:
"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn't wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? ...we need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us." - Franz Kakfa
Quote from nitro:
I am not a religious person at least not in a conventional sense, yet I consider myself to be a deeply spiritual person. No matter, I find this book to be extremely wise:
