Bookmarks

There was an old story of Google releasing the most popular search queries. Along the same lines, since I've been reading a little too much for that past 2 months, I decided to put up my Firefox bookmarks list online. This will give you a vague idea of a tiny, minuscule bit of what I've been reading. But I strongly want to recommend these books before going on to the bookmarks (I wouldn't recommend any of the bookmarks :P)

Phantoms in the Brain - V.S.Ramachandran
Collection of Sceptical Essays - Bertrand Russel
The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde

And for bookmarks: (I would like to thank Sayan Ganguly for the idea of a CSV or a list representing a large turn of events) Let me remind you that most of these links are on Wikipedia, which has been my single most faithful companion during my internship :)
