A Bridge of Ideas
Your engagement with Veronica O'Keane's 'The Rag and Bone Shop,' a book you rated highly for its psychological depth, and Patrick House's 'Nineteen Ways of Looking at Consciousness' reveals a profound underlying current in your reading: you are seeking to understand the architecture of subjective experience, not just as a scientific puzzle, but as a lived reality.
