1- James D Watson, Avoid Boring People: And Other Lessons from a Life in Science Review

    I found James D Watson, Avoid Boring People Overpriced, disappointing. More of a descriptive diatribe of surroundings and the history of old buildings than any insight into the mind of a scientist. Lessons seemed flippant and not generally applicable. Rambling nature with copious name dropping. No real insight into the authors mind
