Am reading a fun little book on mass behaviour, unambiguously titled Herd (the irony here is that the book itself is part of a herd of monosyllabic popular science titles like Blink and Nudge). Let me elaborate on 'fun' and 'little' later by posting a review of the book in the next couple of weeks. As a teaser, here's one of the chapter mottoes:

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

- Oscar Wilde

Just thought it'd be a fitting end of year post for the blog.
