Was just on a Lufthansa and then United flight - both of which did not have WiFi. Was wondering if there was something going on at the infrastructure level.
Notes from Underground was the book that really pulled me into Dostoevsky (after initially reading C&P and disliking it - I doubtless missed quite a lot the first time through).
Definitely in that category for me.
"I am a sick man... I am a spiteful man." A good hook, but I had a tough time finishing Notes. The narrator really shows that yes, he is in fact a sick and spiteful man. Not one I'd want to pick up again.
I got pulled into Dostoyevsky through Brothers K, which led me to Notes eventually.
Do you know what translation of Notes you read? I think I read P&V, and if I read it again I'd want to try something else

They give (I think) a good general overview, while also going a little bit more in-depth in a few areas (e.g., Gaussian Processes).
A measurement being 7 sigma out would still be Chebyshev bounded by 1/7^2 ≈ 0.02
I.e. the probability of it being ≥7 sigma out is interestingly at most 0.02.
