My first China Mieville book. I've never really had an interest in him before but I figured for $5 it was a steal. I thought it was well written but the whole premise of the cities was just a bit too unbelievable to me. The ending sequence was intensely cool though.

Richard Morgan is just a very skilful writer. The book is eminently readable and the words just seem to flow off the page - and the noir attitude is so prevalent it's almost palpable. Awesome. It's too bad the main plot isn't as interesting as Altered Carbon so far, but I'm only about a quarter of the way through so I'll reserve judgment.

I've heard a lot of buzz around this one, and the premise of scifi set within as interesting a culture as Turkey makes my mouth water. It'll be my first Ian McDonald book so I don't know what to expect, but the reviews on the various sci fi blogs have sold me on it. Hopefully I'll finish it in time for A Dance with Dragons!

Jack London - The Iron Heel is in the same catagory as 1984. A novel where the action takes place in the future and the society has gone down the drain, because passivism allowed it to happen, but in the end, to everyones dismay. The Iron Heel takes place between 1912-1932, which was in the future at the time being.
Unlike 1984, The Iron Heel desribes a society, which resembles our current society very much.
edit: I have not read them yet but thats how it feels like atm

Generally, I'm just going through every Murakami book I can get my hands on - It's been a long time since I was reading so much and enjoyed it so much :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Symbolic_Species
The Symbolic Species (published 1997) is a book by biological anthropologist Terrence Deacon on the evolution of language. Combining perspectives from neurobiology, evolutionary theory, linguistics, and semiotics, Deacon proposes that language, along with the unique human capacity for symbolic thought, co-evolved with the brain.
The Symbolic Species is a multi-disclipinary book that at the time of publishing was seen as groundbreaking. It is considered to have bound together a wide array of ideas in a way that advanced the understanding of professionals in several fields.

Sometimes I laugh out loud, sometimes I get the feeling of my heart plummeting into my stomach, sometimes I want to cry.
Epic book.

Malcolm Gladwell's books make for fascinating reading, but he tends to foray into this new-age pop psychology that really isn't supported by actual psychologists. I love and recommend his books, but be careful not to take their conclusions at face value.

You haven't read the best one yet !! Try reading The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is pretty cool as well.
