Lila - "Enquiry into Morals" (R.Pirsig) .. "good" is a noun.. and MoQ in general, with all the orthogonal layers, and identity being the most basic characteristic of things

probably also C.N.Parkinson laws (of burocracy)... as computing is the ultimate burocracy.

and... Winnie the pooh, and the Little prince. aloud (to a kid probably). Really. esp. if u muse over what u just read aloud..

the little prince is really one of the best books I have ever read about enjoying life while subsequently understanding the decisions I make/Will make/Have made.
