RE: Read any good books lately? Rate them here
Currently reading Candide by Voltaire as recommended by Pyrrho and Rhythm. Great story so far and thoroughly enjoying it (about a third in).

Also reading "Being No One: The Self-Model Theory of Subjectivity" by Thomas Metzinger but that's going to take a lot longer to read, probably months even at a fair rate as it's so long. But so far it's incredible, being perfectly willing to tackle the 'hard' questions of consciousness and in a really thorough way. It can get a bit technical but the author is great at explaining difficult concepts with thorough examples. From what I've read though, I think this is the most solid theory of mind/consciousness I've come across and it is a joy to read so well chuffed.

Dipping into "God or Godless?: One Atheist. One Christian. Twenty Controversial Questions" by John W. Loftus and Randal Rauser. But I don't really need that any more since joining this site. Still, it makes good toilet reading Wink

Recently finished "The Great Divorce" by C. S. Lewis. Fascinating portrayal of heaven and hell - very imaginative. Just as interesting as Dante's Inferno from that perspective.
