1/n

This year I think I will share the books which I found either useless or a waste of time for me. They could have been great books for someone else but for me they were not worth the time.
2/n

Ultralearning: This book deserves not more than 30 mins of anyone's time. Repetitive to the core. The first few pages are enough.
3/n

Think Python

This is actually a great book. And I am going to read it once again after I get over my current Python book.
A very good book to solve if you have some background in computer science. But not the right time for me to have read this cover to cover.
4/n

Thinking in Bets

A book I didn't understand what the objective was. All poker players think they are God's gift to mankind for risk management. I learnt nothing new. A sheer waste of time. Could be summarised in 5 pages.
5/n

A Mind for Numbers

I have done a Coursera course by the author in less than a day. This is slightly better. But it was a waste of time. This could have been crunched to 1/3rd the size. Plus I think I have always loved maths as a subject (though not good at it) so pointless.
6/n

Never Split the Difference

It's another very good book rather a methodology. Really enjoyed the first third of the book & that's where I feel the book could have ended. I have seen Google talk of the author I think so incrementaly I didn't learn anything additional.
