Just got an awesome book-sharing request from a workshop I'm attending this weekend. I am totally stealing this to use in future workshops (and I hope others will steal it too).pic.twitter.com/eJCFvIqYmZ

Just ordered Brand's "How Buildings Learn", Illich's "Deschooling Society", Ostrom's "Governing the Commons", Adams's "Watership Down", Lakatos's "Proofs and Refutations", Gleick's "Genius". Six books I love, and hope someone else will enjoy too.

Amazon Prime is awesome, but I'm not sure they will arrive in time...

If you're a fan of Proofs, you should check out Pólya's plausible reasoning books. He was a big (and acknowledged) influence on Lakatos.

I got very little out of Polya.

It’s crazy, but I don’t know why I never hunted for a Feynman bio. Totally ordering Genius.

According to legend, Murray Gell-Mann said of the book "Gleick wrote a book about Feynman's genius in order to illustrate his own". It's ungenerous, but the key point is, I think, correct. One of the two best bios I've ever read (Skidelsky's one-volume Keynes is the other).

I’ve read 3 of them. I will read the other 3 :-)

Which 3 have you read?

Any list with Watership Down on it makes me want to read the rest! I already know Genius is excellent, and Lakatos is in the queue...

I'm a big fan of Proofs and Refutations. As well as being very good it's also hilarious
