Consciousness Explained   Daniel C. Dennett
Very well written, serious, and rigorous philosophy/science book about the nature of human consciousness and how it functions. Relies more on scientific and psychological experimentation data than philosophical reasoning to make his points: hetero-phenomenology, the multiple drafts theory from a pandemonium, the discussion of the origins and nature of the self, and he makes his case very well. I think he makes a mistake thinking of the self as a thing. Good book, very glad I worked through it.
