So L. Ron Hubbard, who is dead, wrote this giant 1,000 page sci-fi novel. It is too long, and somewhat rambling, but is nevertheless good in parts. I can state as a matter of fact it is much better than the movie, despite having only seen the previews of same.
An excellent collection of essays exploring topics ranging from self-referentiality, consciousness, machine intelligence and the Rubik’s Cube. These articles were mainly written during Hofstadter’s stint at Scientific American.
Dennett’s philosophical theory of consciousness. Definitely worth a read for anyone interested in these matters. Don’t believe all the negative Amazon reviews – many folks will immediately reject any attempt at a materialist, non-mystical explanation of consciousness out of knee-jerk fear.
The book version of the classic film. Similar to the movie, but a bit darker and with more character development.
A very interesting fantasy novel from King. I finally got around to checking this out. I wasn’t blown away, but I think I shall at least read the next in the series.
Darn entertaining horror.
