I recently finished _Programming_and_Metaprogramming_in_the_Human
Biocomputer_, by Dr. John Lilly.  This is a great book about the mind
and how it works, etc. (I always thought my brain should work like a
computer -- as in reprogramming to do different functions -- but it's nice
to have somebody else agree.)

Anyway, Lilly wrote a book titled something like _Communication_Between
Man_and_Dolphin_, or something like that...  Anybody read it?  I understand
it's really great...
