I recommend Chuck Palahniuk's Survivor (fight club author). It's a neat book with a neat story and crazy twists. They are also making a movie based on this book.

I'm reading Jpod, by Douglas Coupland right now. I think most of you would like it since it's about working in the video game industry. It's a pseudo-follow up to his book Microserfs which was written in the 1990s about working for (and quitting) Microsoft.

"Fire in The Crucible" by John Briggs

A great book for anyone in any type of creative industry. He tries to get into the minds of the the most creative people in the past 2 centuries or so... Einstien, Mozat, Woolf, Picasso, Edison, Tesla... everybody you can think of. He uses modern research on creativity and links that with the lives of creative genusies and its all a nice easy good flowing well written book. Highly recomended.. I finished it about 2 months ago

now I am reading

"Art Mind Brain - A cognitive approach to creativity" by Howard Gardner

About half way though it.. So far I can't put it down... he started off by going into the works of many famous psychologists, philosophers, art historians etc.. You learn a lot about the work of Levi Strauss, Piaget and other lesser known scholars.. and now hes going into the creativity of childern and everything.. really great so far, lot of great insights. Im guessings hes going to wove those subjects together later on...
