Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil by Tom Mueller – review (Alex Renton, observer)
february 2012 by arsyed
"We had a dozen oils, and a panel consisting of an importer, an Italian deli owner and a couple of eminent foodies: the results were so embarrassing and confusing the piece was never published. The importer went into a fugue after he was informed that he'd pronounced his own premium product "disgusting"; the deli owner chose a bottle of highly dubious "Italian extra virgin" as his favourite (it had cost £1.99 at the discount store TK Maxx); and both the foodies gave a thumbs-up to Unilever's much-derided Bertolli brand.
[...]
More serious – for aficionados and olive farmers – Bertolli and its supermarket rivals corrupted the meaning of extra virginity, a controlled definition of high-quality oil since 1960. "Gentle", "smooth" and "not peppery on the throat" are the sort of words Bertolli and its rivals used in ads promoting their generic extra virgin oil. But true extra virgin oil is peppery – it bites the back of the throat so fiercely it can make you cough. The flavours are vivid. "Peppery" is an official, positive attribute of "extra virgin" whereas smoothness will reliably indicate a low-quality oil."

"I am writing a book about Fourier analysis of boolean functions. I will serialize it on this blog; I hope to publish two new sections each week.

Salander. Sula. (Walter Jon Williams)
december 2011 by arsyed
"In the second book, The Girl Who Played With Fire, Stieg Larsson made a big mistake. He fell in love with his character.
Now I think it's great when readers fall in love with fictional characters. I pat myself on the back for the number of readers who have fallen for Sula. But the problem with writers falling for their own character is that they start giving them too many expensive presents."

"“To put it bluntly: this book rocks! It's 900+ pages of awesome. It somehow manages to combine the fun of a popular book with the intellectual heft of a textbook, so much so that I don't know what to call it (but whatever the genre is, there needs to be more of it!).” —Scott Aaronson" (ok, i'm sold!)

"I linger so long on this example because it captures what is so irritating and crooked about this book. Brooks’ characters are constantly saying and thinking the sort of thing Brooks says and thinks in his opinion columns. They’re constantly made to express what are quite clearly elements of the author’s conception of human nature, sociality, and political life."

After the Sauds (Crooked Timber)
march 2011 by arsyed
"it’s worth noting that Phil Howard concludes, in Digital Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy[1], that a) diffusion of ICTs in the region correlate positively with democratization and, b) the one Get-Out-Of-Democratization-Free card anyone has been able to find is oil. Which, mirabile dictu, the House of Saud seems to have a lot of.
[...]
Howard has written the most important book on the subject of ICTs, democracy, and the Middle East EVAR, which has not gotten nearly the attention it deserves, because the post-mortem of the first phase of the Green Wave basically killed the conversation. This lack of attention to Howard’s work is a crime, and should be fixed." [Clay Shirky]
