    I tend to be a voracious reader and go through a lot of books.

    My favorite fiction from this year were the Silo series (Wool, Shift, and Dust) by Hugh Howey.

    For nonfiction my favorite was The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes,
    I'm not sure if I fully agree with Jaynes' proposition, but it was a well thought out idea and a nice exploration of the historical evolution of consciousness.

    Thanks for the tip on The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. It looks fascinating.
