The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail-But Some Don't by Nate Silver

4.0

Surprising longer than I thought when I picked it up (it has the thickness of a regular 300 page book but is 450), it reads quickly, with Silver making his case about forecasting in different fields (political elections, baseball, earthquake and hurricane prediction, the economy, etc), without getting bogged down in too many details or stories; he no Jared Diamond in that respect. Definitely good to read after following the 538 blog during the election..
