During summer 2014 I'm reading this science fiction novel. By nowI'm pretty happy. More opinions to come in short.
In the edge of spring and summer 2014 I read 20th century novel. I enjoyed reading it, but I am not sure I loved it. It is a little bit decadent and probably good for an optimistic period of the reader. Interestingly while telling the story of a family through generations, the situations are somehow cyclic.
In spring 2014 I read this classical 16th century Spanish novel. A great, humoristic, "autobiography", anonymous story about a poor boy assisting different masters to survive. A very nice surprise.
In spring 2014 I read this nice novel situated in mid-20th century's Barcelona. A very intriguing, somehow recursive, story. There are concurrent plots and even a novel written inside of the novel.
In summer 2012 I read this novel by Frank Herbert. It tells the story of Leto Atreides II, right after the supposed death of his father Paul Atreides.
In 2009 I read a series of 2 books about Google: John Battelle's The Search. How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture, Gerald Reischl's El engaño Google: una potencia mundial incontrolada en Internet, and Jean Noël Jeanneney's Google Desafía a Europa. El mito del conocimiento universal. An interesting overview of business practices and policies behind the company.
I am curently interested in machine learning combined with Map reduce. I am now reading a tutorial by Mark Hall.
I previously read Witten and Frank's Data mining: practical machine learning tools and techniques. Up to now I have learnt a lot from it and I strongly recommend it.
