2012.Book5 - The Sisters Brothers (DeWitt)

Good western. Not particularly literary, but marketed that way, I guess, to escape genre.

2012.Book4 - Traffic (Vanderbilt)

Pretty good non-fiction summary of traffic studies. Not super-interesting, but OK.

2012.Book1 I Am a Strange Loop (Hofstadter)

Very good pop-sci. Another good explanation of Godel, too. Though I don't really accept that there's any kind of Godelian level mixing going on in conscious beings. But he has hit on the real "inability" of consciousness, like Bakker's "Consciousness is not an achievement."
