The ones that I'm still reading with any frequency (I may have dropped a few that were simply too boring) include another Dawkins, this time "The Exetnded Phenotype" (no poetry in this one, just science stuff..
); "Suns of God" by Acharya S (that's her pseudonym - what's with people still writing under pseudonyms???), the "Zen Fool" by Ryokan (only poetry I'm reading at the moment!), and "Darwin's Dangerous Idea" by philosopher Daniel Dennett. And now I feel like striking up the philosopher's song, come on every one: "Iiiiiiiiimanuel Kant was a real pi$$ ant who was very rarely stable; Heidegger Heidegger was a boozy beggar...."

I must admit, I don't generally read science for fun unless the book is written in that "Alan Alda hosing Scientific American Frontiers" kind of way--i.e. written "soft and cushy" for the English major to understand. One scence-type book I had to read for one of my leadership classes is actually super intriguing and it has to do with quantum physics. Basically how new understanding of quantum physics can be applied to leadership in our modern times. It's amazing
