[Title] The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail - But Some Don’t [Author] Nate Silver [Rating] ★★★★ [Year] 2012 [Read] 2012/11/19 [Review] 
An excellent popular (easy to read) overview of a variety of statistical topics, with a good focus on not fooling yourself with overfitting. Some of the technical aspects are a little weak (the Hume discussion comes to mind), but what do you expect, Silver’s a busy guy. Excerpts: - Introduction - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13
