Mein Geburtstag

[MRaverz]

So, basically.

My birthday is on the 6th, and I'm turning 18 - woo.
This means I get a slightly higher birthday budget. ;D

And as part of my present, I'm wanting more books. I said part, I AM cool - honest.

I've a vague idea of what I want to get, but I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions.

Vague areas of interest are obviously:
+ Biology; genetics, evolutions, zoology etc.
+ Physics; cosmology, quantum, astronomy etc.
+ History of science, all areas,
+ Philosophy; pretty much anything, maybe something nihilistic,
+ Politics; general and basic approaches, I'm no political genius, something on anarchism maybe,
+ General scepticism,

As well as classic fiction on the lines of 1984, Slaughterhouse 5 etc.


All help is helpful.

The Foundation trilogy by Isaac Asimov if you're looking for some classic fiction, the Nimrod flipout by Etgar Keret for light train reading.

Thanks, I'll look into these.

I've been recommending Susan Jocoby a lot lately, Freethinkers and The age of American unreason are excellent.
