I didn't know much about that book. It looks pretty interesting. |

A book has got smell. A new book smells great. An old book smells even better. An old book smells like ancient Egypt. |

I find people interesting. People trying hard are interesting. People with a passion are interesting - whether it's old cars or taxidermy or knitting. |

Perfection is an unattainable goal. It isn't going to be perfect. Just get words down on paper, and when you stumble to what you think is the end of the book, you will have hundreds of pages of words that came out of your head. It may not be perfect, but it looks like a book. |

I feel like if I'm going to give you a book about my dad, then I really want to give you my dad, because he is interesting and he is funny and if you're buying a book about him, I don't want you to have to sit through stuff that's not him. |

Everyone's clamoring for the fourth book in the 'Fifty Shades' trilogy, which makes me laugh. Just the part of 'a fourth book in trilogy' that makes me laugh, not the clamoring for the next book. |

I thought, well I can do that. I couldn't be bothered writing a book review, because I'd have to read the book, I haven't got time to read a whole book for a fifty dollar write-up. |

When a writer declares that his first book is his best, that is bad. I progress successively from book to book. |

I have also written a book about the Giving of the Torah, and a book on the Days of Awe, and a book on the books of Israel that have been written since the day the Torah was given to Israel. |

As far as post-'SNL' career, whatever kind of comes my way that looks interesting, I'll do it, you know? |

You should read that book. It's pretty weird. Pretty short too.

When Petunia reveals that she knows what Dementors are (in the 5th book), she blushes and says "I heard that...awful boy telling her years ago" and Harry angrily says "If you mean my dad, just say his name". But after you read the 7th book, you discover that she didn't mean James at all. She was referring to Snape. It's a brilliant reference that frames the relationship between Lily, Snape, and Petunia, seeming like a useless remark from both characters until you read the last book.

This is interesting. I would think Google would know better than to give an easy image classification problem. It's not difficult now to grab someone else's code and train pretty accurate models. I'm sure they have models to do the same thing. I wonder if what they're doing is showing us the examples that their models get wrong.
The mouse movement CAPTCHA is interesting too. I could definitely record my mouse movements for a week or so and then build a model to emulate those movements.

"Let me tell you that I have made a bad mistake this evening.
My girlfriend (who let me tell you is only my 2nd girlfriend of all time) said I am "invited to dinner" with her and her parents. I was very aghast, nervous, and bashful to be invited to such a situation. But I knew it must be done.
I met them nicely, I should tell you, and it started off in a good way. The idea slapped my mind that I should do a comic bit, to make a good impression and become known to them as a person who is amusing.

Those nested dreams are the wackiest. That all sounds pretty funny, cool, and interesting overall though :)

Wikipedia says he was a unitarian universalist, atheist, humanist, and it says Slaughterhouse Five had existential themes. That's pretty much the kind of stuff I look for in a book.

No weird dreams lately : though I slept for like 12 hours last night... I dreamt that I finished a book that I actually didn't finish... and also that someone thought I was racist... kind of boring.
