Kinda old, but new to me: The Dana Foundation published a list of great books on the brain for general readers in their Spring 1999 issue of Cerebrum. From the press release (links added by me):

Among the great brain books, these three received the most points from the scientists: first, Drugs and the Brain by Solomon Snyder, published by W. H. Freeman & Co; second, An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison, published by Random House; and third, The Emotional Brain: The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Lif e by Joseph LeDoux, published by Touchstone Books.

I couldn't find a web page with the whole list, so I put one up (until someone tells me to take it down): The Dana Foundation's Great Brain Books List.

Found while looking for the above: Great Law Books.

The Simpsons DVD petition site has word from Fox, via DVDFile, that the Simpsons will get a DVD release of some kind. Fox was more specific about The X-Files and Ally McBea l getting full-season DVD releases in expensive boxed sets. No word if the Simpsons will get a similar treatment.

Be in an Adam Sandler movie. Check out the IMDb entry. Harvey Keitel as Satan, Adam Sandler as his son. Dana Carvey, Jon Lovitz, Kevin Nealon, Rodney Dangerfiel d, and Ozzy Osborn as himself. Sounds like a winner!
