"Call Me Joe" by Poul Anderson, which Avatar ripped off horribly and a really poor guitar book. |

Just finished reading a number of Philip K. Dick novels, including but not limited to Ubik, Time out of Joint, Confessions of a Crap Artist, Martian Time Slip, and Do Robots Dream of Electric Sheep. He's currently my favorite author but unfortunately I've run out of novels by him and I don't really like reading short stories. I just love the way he deals with the human mind. I don't think I've ever read a book that paints a better picture of insanity than pretty much any of his novels. |

A New Kind of Science is really getting zany. The dude claims the universe can be simulated by a network automata. Actually, a simpler (single live cell) automata that simulates a network automata. Then he talks about consciousness and is vague. Then he talks about definitions of randomness and complexity, which were far too vague for me to take seriously. "Randomness is that whose underlying pattern cannot be readily identified by a simple program, such as a brain." "Complexity is that which increases with a pattern's description length." Ugh. The next 200 pages are going to drag and drag. |

Oh man I love the Mortal Engines books so much! I also would highly recommend the View from the Mirror Quartet from Ian Irvine, and any of his other books, for a truly outstanding fantasy world which blew my mind when I read it, and inspires me to do some of the stuff in the books in a LD. |

I am currently reading 'The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss, and while I have only read around 50 to 100 pages into it I already think it is going to be one of my favourite books, and it is written wonderfully. Also there is plenty of inspiration for LD's in the book. |

Jack Kornfield is the man. I keep a copy of The Wise Heart: a Guide to the Universal Teachings of Buddhist Psychology next to my toilet and I've probably read it in bits and pieces like 20 times. I haven't read Meditation for Beginners, but what I love so much about The Wise Heart is that he uses a very logical and scientific approach to deal with spiritual topics. It seems like a lot of Buddhist literature is just like "do this, it'll make you feel better" with no explanation of why your mind works that way. |

People should post pictures of the books they are reading, I love the draws of the covers ^^ |
