Hi,
You have too many books. You'd better send some my way. You'll feel better; trust me. wink, wink; nudge, nudge.

We are the only two members who have Galen Strawson's book, Consciousness and Its Place in Nature. You own so many books, but I would be very curious to know why you have this particular one...Also, have you read it?

We share a good amount of books (mostly comics and media type stuff (go "Serenity!")) though your philosophy and physics books make my head spin! Also, we live not too far from each other... Hey neighbor!

I see you use the tag "neural networks" more than anybody else. I have some questions on the topic after having read "Galatea 2.2" if it's not too much bother.

Others shall proudly claim your heart, but it is we who are destined to wed!

Yup, physics is my main interest, but I tend to buy a lot of books on subjects I'd like to teach myself more about at some point (I haven't read the Boolos books yet either). And I also have an interest in some non-mathematical areas of philosophy, like philosophy of mind.

Based on the books we have in common, I would have guessed that you were in a similar field to me (ie, phil of math or something). But a quick google search suggests physics instead. Did you start out in philosophy or something? While plenty of people have Dennett and Quine, and even Kripke, far fewer have Boolos (though I must admit I haven't read any of the essays in that particular collection yet).

Mmm we seem to have many unlikely books in common.
