Re-reading Norm Macdonald's drivel, what a load of horse****. I'd give it only a 9/10 and will only read it probably 6-7 more times. Critics are calling it everything from "****" to "****ing ****"

His writing is so hard to read. F.scott now, that's smooth.

What's awesome is, you can tell the AI to read Tolkien, and have it re-written by F.Scott.

It's like Movies with ugly actors, and you just remake the movie with better looking ones.

The material is especially dense, and quite thorough. Scary what AI can do these days . Thanks for the tip!

The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

Hey, great to see another book thread here! I'm currently diving into the rich tapestry of "红楼梦" (Dream of the Red Chamber) by Cao Xueqin. I've always known it's a masterpiece, but the sheer volume of analysis and interpretations surrounding it was a bit intimidating at first.

I was worried I'd miss out on the deeper layers, but after dedicating myself to a couple of chapters each day for the past few weeks, I've realized something wonderful. It's a book that keeps giving, no matter what your age is. Because with different layer of life and history you experience it always brings you intelligence and beauty.

Reading through this thread brought back a wave of nostalgia from my college days. Late nights in the dorm lounge often turned into heated debates about which was more mind-bending—Tolkien’s The Silmarillion or the endless pages of theoretical physics we had to cram for finals. I remember trying to break down complex ideas into something manageable, and, honestly, I would’ve killed for tools like https://edubrain.ai/ back then.

Nowadays, I rely on AI to streamline my learning and even casual reading. Just last week, I revisited a philosophy book that had stumped me in college, and using Edubrain, I managed to break it down into bite-sized explanations. It felt surreal having what’s essentially a study partner ready 24/7 to clarify anything, no matter how many questions I had.

It’s funny how conversations with AI remind me of group study sessions—except this “study buddy” never runs out of patience or snacks. Sometimes I even experiment with having AI rewrite dense texts in a smoother style (imagine Tolkien reimagined by Hemingway—wild, right?).

Books like Dune or Dream of the Red Chamber remind me how every re-read can unlock new layers. Pairing such classics with modern tools feels like bridging two worlds.

Even scarier is what she might do tomorrow!

Given his impact on today's world, I felt that I needed to learn more about this man-boy-monster.

After reading some of his other books (Einstein, Jobs) I figured that the Isaacson book, in spite of its length, was probably the most informative biography.

There's a guy, smart, accredited, you think, gee, I should read his books.

Look up his books, he's got 30 books, 500+ pages each.

Sigh, Too many books...
