    One of my all time favorites. I've read it a couple of times in full now and keep going back for my favorite passages when I'm sad. I don't think I've ever read something that funny in my life. Plus you get to learn a lot about cognitive science and biases (just don't trust the physics it's not thaaat accurate).

    at first I went from "oh what crap, how could you do that to the Potter character" to "wow, amasing sense of humour". now I am somewhere in the middle of the book and love it.
