this is my favorite toni morrison book. it's pretty excellent.

In the summer of 2004, late August or early September, I was working full-time at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities bookstore. I was enjoying my summer making good money, preparing for my second year at the good ol' UofM. Every day that I worked I received a half-hour and a ten-minute break. I read John Searle's "The Rediscovery of the Mind" in one week, entirely during my breaks. It's not spectacular, but it's the only book I've ever read while on and only while on break from a job. Also, because it was a bookstore, I just grabbed the bookstore copy off the shelf and read that. After that week, I decided I didn't want to read books from the bookstore anymore (because I couldn't write in them and I wanted to eat lunch on my breaks sometimes), so I switched to doing the daily crossword. It didn't hurt that Searle is an extremely easy read -- he uses simple and often humurous language + builds a generally common-sense defense of various mind-related theses.

it was amazing...
