"Consciousness Explained" by Daniel Dennett
There is always time for Charles Bukowski!
Lovecox - the trouble with that book is that it doesn't really explain consciousness - any more than dozens of other books on the same topic. Many scientists - in neuroscience and in physics - believe that we may never really be able to explain consciousness. There are, of course, many reductionists who see it simply as a function of our brains. More interesting thinkers connect the world of quantum physics to consciousness in some intriguing ways eg Sir Roger Penrose. But then here is a great chllenge to his notions.

Francis Crick and Christof Koch (with whom he worked for many years) also did a lot of work w on consciousness which broke the consensus. Koch's new book is good.
