My rating: 1/5 cats
One Star

dear book:

this book has broken my spirit. it is true i am wholly uninterested in this topic, even though it is something i feel like would be helpful to know. if i had had a better teacher for this class, i could at this very minute know all sorts of amazing things about information retrieval. as it stands—crappy teacher and crappy textbook and one day away from the final—i am a whimpering mass of jelly and nerves.

this book is boring. this book is presupposing all sorts of knowledge that this reader does not have. this book has typos. (ironically in the section that stresses the importance of accuracy when evaluating the quality of information representation.) this book is going up on ebay day after tomorrow.

merry christmas, naughty little boys and girls. you get a textbook!

this feels gauche, but when i announced i was starting a blog, everyone assured me this is a thing that is done. i’m not on facebook, i’ve never had a cellphone or listened to a podcast; so many common experiences of modern life are foreign to me, but i’m certainly struggling financially, so if this is how the world works now, i’d be foolish to pass it up. any support will be received with equal parts gratitude and bewilderment.
