The Fragrant Man 
Thank you, Jordan, for posting the interview with Luca Turin and all the other good stuff too. I read The Emperor of Scent (edit – see comment below) when it first came out but somehow neglected to pick up The Shadow of the Mind. It’s good to have a new reading reading list.
Azar
The Shadow of the Mind? How did you know the title of my upcoming book?
Ah, now I understand. Jameel Sadik Al-Khalili’s book it is!
I will have to go with Nimbusis of the Mind or Nimbi of the Mind or Nimbuses of the Mind.
I meant to say Shadows of the Mind, not The Shadow of the Mind. Wow! One definite article and the whole thing is changed from Roger Penrose to a completely new and different world. This is what I meant
to say… “I read the Emperor’s New Mind (not the Emperor of Scent)
when it first came out but somehow neglected to pick up Penrose’s
Shadows of the Mind.” I think my mind must be floating around with
the nimbi somewhere to make that many mistakes in one comment.
The Shadow of the Mind is a great title though, whoever it belongs to.
Aha, I see. I have not read the first one but I will do so this weekend. I have shelved it at Good Reads.
