Half the books mentioned are books I loved, the other are books I haven't read. Suggests I should read the second half, too then :)
People who like "The Murder of Professor Schlick" tend to also like "Exact Thinking in Demented Times" - very much recommend it, if you haven't read it. Douglas Hofstadter wrote the introduction and toured with the author, Karl Sigmund, upon its publication. One of the under 10 books I have read over 5 times.
And given your other topics of interests like rationality and Tom Griffiths book mentioned here, you might like "What Makes Us Smart" By Gershman (who you also cite in your book).
Thanks for the recommendations Lionel :) I just finished 'How to Expect the Unexpected' by Kit Yates and it's probably one of the most fun read i had in a while. Kit is remarkable at explaining counterintuitive phenomena in a very intuitive way.

Thanks. Another great book on the Vienna Circle? On my list!
