Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion. It was ok. A lot of sciencey brain stuff. The last chapter was about fake gurus and awesome drugs which was nice.

I'm currently reading Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom. Another book based on brain science. I read it a long time ago but don't remember any of it. In fact I don't remember most books I read.

I like non-fiction books. A lot of what you might call "self-help" but not like Tony Robbins "Just think positive!" stuff. I like the physical/chemical science behind things. For fiction I have next to my bed "If It Bleeds" by Stephen King. His latest short story book. I LOVE King short story books. Just long enough to keep my attention span and make me feel like I accomplished something by finishing it.
