Sunset Parkby Paul Auster
His latest novel Luminous, passionate, expansive, an emotional tour de force unlike anything he's ever written Sunset Park follows the hopes and fears of a cast of unforgettable characters brought together by the mysterious Miles Heller during the dark months of the 2008 economic collapse.
In one of the most stunning debuts to come along in years, reminiscent of Philip K. Dick’s best work and P. D. James’ classic The Children of Men, David Oppegaard gives us a world whose near future presents some terrifying realities.
The Despair has plagued the earth for five years. Most of the world’s population has inexplicably died by its own hand, and the few survivors struggle to remain alive. A mysterious, shadowy group called the Collectors has emerged, inevitably appearing to remove the bodies of the dead.

The Mysterious Flame: Conscious Minds In A Material
You have a piece of meat in your head called a brain. You also have perceptions, feelings, thoughts, and ideas, which scientists assert are related in some fashion to that piece of meat. How can this be? Philosopher Colin McGinn looks at this question in depth in The Mysterious Flame: Conscious Minds in a Material World, a slim, accessible book that presents a novel answer: we'll never know. We can look at the brain from outside, and look at our consciousness from within, but never the twain shall meet.
