message 1: by Christine (new)

Christine I have the following books on my want to read next list:
The Brothers K
The Boys in the Boat
The Martian
The Glass Castle
Mr Mercedes

There are some more, but I can't remember off hand. I'm open to anything though.


message 2: by Stephie (new)

Stephie Williams Sorry, I don't do book clubs. Either I'm not interested in the books chosen, or I'm too poor to obtain the book. I do post book reviews on the books I do read, although currently I'm backed up in this task.

I was expecting more non-fiction, brain and mind related titles...

Although The Martian is one of my favourite books, I was thinking the books for this book club would be more related to psychology, neuroscience, or anything to do with our brains!


message 5: by James (new)

James For my first book club, here's an interesting place--brain,mind and neuroscience--to begin. Cheers!

Just a quick note:

I want this book club to be casual! No pressure in reading the book every month (or every 2 months). If it's a book you're interested in, join in! If it's not quite what you want to read, don't! Life is busy, I definitely get that! I just wanted this to be a fun place where we can discuss some great books together!

Thanks!

Rebecca Sounds good about it being casual. Thanks, Chelsey.


message 8: by Virginia (new)

Virginia MD I honestly doubt that I can add more books to my reading list right now, but for those of you who are interested in Mind-related books, please do check out the Brain Science Group hear on Goodreads. This my podcast, which features interviews with authors who are working neuroscientists and philosophers.

I just posted an interview with Anthony Chemero, co-author of Phenomenology: An Introduction.


message 9: by Mark (new)

Mark I thought given the thread that this would be a book club for brain and science books. If it's not, I don't think I would be interested. I already have a pretty large list of fiction and other nonfiction to get through, and I'm not sure how it would correspond with others' interests.

Scott O'Reilly Hello all, I'd be happy to make my book, "Socrates in Cyberspace" available free in exchange for objective reviews and discussion. Please contact me if you are interested. For further info: Socrates in Cyberspace: The Search for the Soul in the 21st Century

Also, for some great mind/body related quotes please check out my SlideShare:

Cerebrum I'd absolutely love to, however it would depend on wether or not the book is available in my community and/or regional hospital library.
Sadly, they aren't likely to have many books of these sorts
