...but Some Don't'

Amazon blurb here:
https://www.amazon.com/Signal-Noise...preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch


I'm bored as hell with the new podcast releases, crappy new movie releases, and boring, repetitive crappy media in general. Maybe that's why I've found myself, lately, paying attention to nothing other than sports. (music doesn't count...nevermind...) I could use something mildly deeper, maybe, and I've got an audiobook copy around that's just been collecting e-dust, so I figured I'd take a punt, mate.

(tell me that doesn't sound retarded...I don't know what the funk I'm saying, just been listening to too many British soccer commentators)

I've got Superforecasting, as well, by Phil Tetlock. Silver's sounds slightly more appealing.

Looking for word on opinions, if anyone's read (or whatevas).
Recommendations on something seemingly similar is also acceptable.
