It being my birthday, I'm put to mind of mortality and immortality. On the first point, there's Tom Kirkwood's Time of Our Lives: The Science of Human Aging, which, though not as enthralling as Jonathan Weiner's broader-ranging Time, Love, Memory, has much good information on what happens as we get older. On the second--well, I don't quite share Ray Kurzweil's techno-optimism and sure don't share his taste in beverages, but he's got some interesting ideas.
I may just have to spend the evening rereading (after decades) Aldous Huxley's After Many a Summer Dies the Swan. Long life!
