The Logic of Failure: Recognizing and Avoiding Error in Complex Situations by Dietrich Dorner

When you consider the number of books in our libraries, it is incredible that I have read 11 in yours. Maybe I'm just lots older than you.

Nevertheless, you have encouraged me to read Phantoms in the Brain : Probing the Mysteries of the Human Mind. It is now on my list of books to find. Perhaps Blink too, though the Sunday Times did not give it a very convincing review.

I'm curious, why did you list Life of Pi as non-fiction and Zen ATAOMM as fiction? I thought Vernon God Little was fiction as well (my husband has read it, not I).

Based on what I see, I would highly recommend: Animals in Translation (not just about cows, pigs and dogs), and In the Rose Garden of the Martyrs : A Memoir of Iran. And if you like conversational philosophy written in unparalleled prose, The Myths We Live By.

Yours, Firoza
