Just finished "The brain that changes itself", highly recommended, it goes to show that even people with half a brain can lead fruitful lives.
Also "The Dawkins Delusion", interesting. Some of the arguments presented are interesting but don't hold a lot of water. Very simplist in his criticisms of Dawkins.
Also "Of Pandas and People", the book at the centre of the whole ID debate in the US recently. Has some interesting ideas and raises a number of valid questions...but contains very little true scientific theory.
Now reading "Evolution, what the fossils really say and why it matters". Going to be a hard slog of 400 laarge pages of small text. Only up to page 20 but so far I really like the guy and his style.
As you can probably gather, I am reading a number of evolution books lately...
