What do Macheads read?

[Rhisiart]

Tainted Blood by Arnaldur Indridason. Icelandic inspector Morse. A bit grim in parts, but good plot.

I fancy weird fiction/science fiction, so HP Lovecraft and Philip K Dick are two of my faves.
In poetry, I especially like Rainer Maria Rilke, and Allen Ginsberg.
Conspiracy theories get my rocks off, so David Icke does it for me(uh oh, better duck; I sense a barrage of hostility hurling in my direction!).
Just finished The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot, a fascinating tome putting forth an unusual theory of the nature of reality and consciousness drawn from the realm of quantum physics, and Gnosis: The Nature and History of Gnostism by Kurt Rudolph....it's a really good overview of a major and fascinating heretical belief system. Gnostics believed that Gnosis, or spiritual knowledge, could only be obtained through direct spiritual experience and not through blindly accepting religious dogma. They were relentlessly hounded and attacked, and eventually wiped out by the Catholic Church. (I've got a soft spot for heretics; all power to the heretics, wherever they be!)

Hmmn, currently:
Representing and Intervening by Ian Hacking (Philosophy of Science)
Who Moved My Blackberry (Fun junk)
Collapse by Jared Diamond (a biogeographer on why societies collapse)

I'm readind Shalimar the Clown, by Salman Rushdie and it just goes to prove what I already knew since I started reading The Satanic Verses a couple of years ago: Salman Sucks!!

Never read this; is it purely based upon scientific explaination, or does it admit fault in realms such as love and premonition and blend the quantum physicality with human drama? You make it sound interesting nonetheless.

Ah yes, and I'm currently reading The Soul of Sex (by Thomas Moore). Just started, but it looks promisingly deep.

Here's a fun book, if you like Anthropology, as I do ... "Cows, Pigs, Wars and Witches The Riddles of Culture" by Marvin Harris. Not heavy and easy to read unlike many Anthro. books.
