One of the tech pages I follow on social media has a suggested reading list which included this book. So I found it at my local library. It looks like a kids or tween book but I'll read it anyway since I found it. #amreading

I'm reading the ad Herennium (a first century BC book on rhetoric) and found this. I'm not an expert, but it strikes me as the earliest written description of Dunning–Kruger effect. Am I wrong?

It's Friday 2025-6-13. I shopped for 1 loaf of name brand bread, 1 gallon of name brand milk, 1 dozen extra large eggs, & 1 lb of 80% hamburger in Bloomington, IL. Comparing prices every Friday. They didn't have my milk again.

I seem to have a hard time keeping my #amreading posted. TBH I know there's only a couple of you that care anyway. This week I'm reading Confessions of an Opium Eater by De Quincey. It's probably the earliest Western account of addiction to what, at the time, was seen as an exotic Eastern drug.

Searched Joplin for my notes on Robert Graves' book Occupation:Writer. No results. Tried common typos just in case. No luck. Checked my reading log to see when I read it. Nothing. I know I read it. I read nearly all of his books when I wrote my own. Pull my copy from the shelf. Uncut pages don't lie
