Finally got around to reading The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes.
It was on my list for the past like, twenty years, and after reading it I really wish I would have read it back then.

- eggsbenedict 7y agoI loved this book It's not exactly science - but it's very stimulating. It guides you through a wide variety of historical, scientific, and literary sources, painting a picture of contemporary human consciousness evolving right before your eyes.
