Alan Watts & Some Books I'm Reading

It's a little blurry.
For clarification, that's:

Rewire --  a brain book / healthy habit / science-based self help type thing.

Steve Jobs  -- biography.

Canine Body Language -- lots of pictures.

The Second Coming of Christ -- written by the same guy that wrote Autobiography of a Yogi, a book I don't really like that Steve Jobs happened to read multiple times.

The Glass Castle -- Family-based fiction; probably my least favorite of all the books I'm reading.

Living Downstream -- nonfiction book about cancer getting out of control in the United States.

&

My personal favorite, a book I've been meaning to read for a very long time. It's mentioned & referenced in so many other books -- Julian Jaynes' classic: The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind -- all about how recent consciousness is & how recently in history humans used the word "god" to refer to the voices they couldn't integrate, coming from their own right hemispheres.
