For me: Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

I had seen the movie but never read the book before. It was a lot better than I expected.

Also what is your current/next book?

I'm continuing the saga with The Restaurant At The End Of The Galaxy.

"Schizoid Phenomena, Object Relations and the Self" by Harry Guntrip.

I've been reading all the Dune novels in publication order. The Guntrip book was an interlude in the middle of "Paul of Dune" which is my... 15th Dune book? I've lost count. Lol. But anyway, I'm back to reading that now.

After that, I'll probably start "Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will" by Robert Sapolsky.

I really enjoyed Determined and Sapolsky's other book, Behave!

[–] TootSweet 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes! I've read Behave and Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers already and both were amazingly informative. The premise of Determined holds particular interest for me, so I'm expecting even greater things from this one.
