Why no thread on bookses? Let's make one. I mostly read nonfiction so let's stick with that. Here's a couple ones I've recently finished and think everyone should read.

Thinking, Fast And Slow - Daniel Kahneman
A seminal journey into the mind, explaining how we basically have two separate "minds" or ways of thinking, the fast, intuitive, and emotional subconscious, and the slower, more deliberate and more logical conscious thought. The pros and cons of both are highlighted, and many of the innate biases these entail are described in detail. Everyone should read this.

The User Illusion: Cutting consciousness down to size - Tor Nørretranders
The best attempt I've seen at explaining consciousness. An incredibly engaging and insightful study using psychology, evolutionary biology, information theory and other disciplines to dig into what consciousness is. Read this after the previous one, this is one of the best nonfiction books I've read ever.

Bad Science - Ben Goldacre
Destroys homeopathy, detoxing and other pseudoscientific crap whilst taking a hard look at flaws in out scientific review process, all in a hilarious way. Fascinating and frustrating to read, but definitely recommended. A light read, unlike the previous one.

I'll continue some day when I'm less jetlagged. Please add your recommendations, but only ones that are really fuckin good.
