Recommended Reading List
Books
The following is a list of books that I recommend. This is a short list for now with incomplete references and links. I'll clean
it up and make it more visually friendly over time.
"Goedel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid" by Douglas Hofstadter.
"The Prince" by Nicolo Machiavelli (it's short--read this three times in a row to really "get" it).
"The Republic" by Plato (everyone has a copy, right?).
(Aesthetic and Pure Reason?) by Imannuel Kant.
"Consciousness Explained" by Daniel Dennet..
"Out of my Later Years" by Albert Einstein.
"The Mind's I" by Hofstadter and Dennet (a collection of thought-provoking stories with commentary).
