I'm curious about that book (The Master Algorithm): I began reading it, but stopped early because I got the impression it would be too "entry-level" for me, thus a waste of my time. Should I consider keeping on with it, and why?

It's hard to say. It's not a deeply technical book, I will say that. The main value I found in it, is that he covers a broad base of different techniques and then lays out some ideas on how they could all be combined to make a "general purpose learner". I found it worth reading, but YMMV.
