Re: Books that inspired you

It's summertime! Time to step away from the keyboard and screens more often. Time to revive this thread.

Currently reading:

Kluge-the Haphazard Construction of the Human Mind. Gary Marcus. [Kluge is a slang word for a clumsy or inelegant solution to a problem- wouldn't it be great to have a FIRST Kluge award added for "the power of imperfection?"]

Just started Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine-The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. wow. wow. wow.

How Doctors Think. Jerome Groopman. For anyone interested in the health fields.
