I am currently reading A Tale of Flowering Fortunes (Eiga Monogatari). Those Heian aristocrats sure knew how to write melodramatic poetry. Can't get enough of it.

http://www.letterenfonds.nl/en/book/770/we-are-our-brains

Wij zijn ons brein (we are our brains ) by Dutch author Dick Swaab, about how our brains cause us to become who we are now, quite a good read but sadly not (yet) released in English as far as I know.

The Extended Phenotype by Richard Dawkins.
my second attempt, the first being one of the really few times i haven't finished reading a book.
i read The Selfish Gene some years ago and the Extended Phenotype is a sequel.

I finished reading a book by James ROLLLINS 2 weeks ago, called Altar of Eden. It was good but not well written, it was about a scientist and lab researcher who goes out to Africa to find out about a mysterious genotype in animals and about a mysterious sabre tooth tiger, which was hunting down villages and that. Usually I don't pick these books, but it was on offer for a £1 now I know why. Before that I was reading a Nora Roberts book, Art of Deception, which was more what I like but it was published in about 1986, so years ago, but I thought it was much more literary and the use of description better.

My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me: forty new fairy tales
I usually read a lot of art criticism, physics, neuropsychology, the odd novel. This one is pretty fun. Makes me want to read some of the original brothers Grimm.

"Bomber", by Len Deighton. So far I've only read the intro. Apparently Deighton wrote the book in 1969 on a prototype IBM word processor.

Been working my way through Stephen King's The Dark Tower epic. I'm up to VI: Song Of Susannah now. :thumleft:
