Books

• Tye, Tense Bees and Shell-Shocked Crabs: Pretty good. I probably disagree with it in >100 places, but that’s to be expected for any book-length treatment on something as difficult to study as consciousness.
• Haffner, Defying Hitler: Good. I wish it had been continued past 1933.
• Pistorius, Ghost Boy: Scary but inspiring.
