| The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat Its all about mental disabilities/complications as seen and explained patient by patient through the eyes and words of the neurologist, Dr. Oliver Sacks. Its a pretty good read and manytimes a mindbender when you try to place yourself in the mindset of the patient. What made it so that a person lost sense of her legs so that unless they are watching them they cannot stand? Due to severe short term memory loss, a man is stuck forever knowing that its 1945 dispite the true date being many decades forward. A doctor, who after examining a glove while describing all the attributes of it, specifically ones that a glove would have, was only able to recognise it as a glove after accidentally slipping in on his hand whereas exclaimed "My God, it's a glove!". What if you lost all sense of 'Left' so as you would only see half the food on your plate or apply makeup on only half your face and not notice? You realise what a powerful and strange thing the mind can be. How badly things can go wrong, and how you might have no perception that anything is wrong, frankly, because the mind itself has no realisation of it, and the possibility that the sense of a problem cannot be established because the mind won't or can't. Kind scary |

Warbucket said: The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat I've always wanted to read this, one of my psychology lecturers mentioned it ages ago, but haven't gotten around to looking for it :P I'm currently reading 'Legacy of Ashes: A History of the CIA'...pretty much about how great of a reputation they had but how terrible their record actually was. How they pretty much screwed America, made the rest of the world hate them, and generally shat all over everyone. They tried to change the world, not know the world, how can you change something you know little about? Also reading Bone Song(interesting alternate reality crime thriller thing) and about to start Neuromancer, which apparently started that whole internet cyberbrain future crazy junk...looking forward to it |

Milk-plus__ said: Fight Club was one of those rare cases where I thought the movie improved on the book. Still pretty good, although I preferred Survivor and Invisible Monsters. Haven't read Choke or Diary, but Lullaby was decent, although my least favorite thus far.PrincessKira said: Chuck Palahniuk: Fight Club and i really recommend it to everyone who has seen the movie and liked it ^^ Try Choke and Diary also, great Palahniuk classics |

| Need to read the Fight Club novel. Just finished "Post Office" by Charles Bukowski and re-reading "The Hobbit" from Tolkien atm. |
| I Am Legend by Richard Matheson |
| The Dragon Heir by Cinda Williams Chima and Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë I'm getting a lot of books for Christmas too, so the list only gets bigger. Pretty much all I asked for. |
| The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett... not my typical read (I resent the fact it is an Oprah pick), but it is very good so far. |
     |
A little pause before starting another Glen Cook series, so I'm into this one : I've read about 200 pages so far, and it seems good enough for a change. Interesting , but not as good as RR Martin's or Erikson's. Though it's only the first book, so I expect to improve with the following volumes. |
| Shadowfall by James Clemens xD |

Really? I keep hearing about how he goes into incredible detail about everything - sounds like that could get old pretty fast :/ |

| HERE'S A BOOK NO ONE KNOWS: The Scarlet Letter - Nathaniel Hawthorne I'm not reading it by choice. It's part of my English course and I have to prepare a 30 minute seminar regarding symbolisms of the Scarlet "A." I don't suppose anyone here has read it, but help would be nice xD |
  Dango, dango, dango, dango, dango, daikazoku~ |
| I just finished re-reading George Orwell's "1984". Now, I'm reading Stephen Hawking's "A brief history of time"... As much as I like quantum physics, somehow, the book seems really dry at the start and makes it hard to stay awake...lol |
| I haven't yet read George Orwell's "1984", I've been told it is a good book from my lecturer little over a year ago. I've recently picked up "The Tales Of Beedle The Bard" by J.K.Rowling. Its pretty good for a side piece to the final Harry Potter book. |

Do you do Philosophy and/or Ethics by any chance? |

When I finish the Divine Comedy, of course, wandering through Purgatory right now (I don't understand the objective of the Purgatory if you already have the Hell for people that commited exactly the same crimes. What makes you go to Purgatory and not to Hell? I'm sure Dante explained it, but it was in such a way I could not understand) |

What makes you go to Purgatory and not to Hell? I'm sure Dante explained it, but it was in such a way I could not understand) Basically, the way I understood the concept of Purgatory is that it is the waiting room (which obviously Dante had never experienced or he would have included it as a punishment) for both Heaven and Hell and the souls that have been assigned there are the ones that Judgment has not been decided upon. Such as the souls of people who have done great and wonderful deeds that have also committed terrible sins and their souls are in a state of balance between the Spheres. Or at least that's the way I read it. Everybody here is reading such heady material, I'm almost ashamed that I'm re-reading Ian Douglas' Heritage trilogy starting with "Semper Mars". But not very. |
