I'm going through AIMA on my own now (1.5th time) - that would be a good one. Some basic books on Game theory would be good (I like Binmore). Maybe even some Dawkins stuff (extended phenotype looks interesting and not everyone has read it). Basically I am thinking about more 'basic' books, relative to this forum, something along the lines of "books of knowledge" from http://yudkowsky.net/obsolete/bookshelf.html , they should get a wide enough audience to make it interesting (perhaps not those specific books in an attempt to avoid groupthink ;). Not sure if Ferge falls into that category, I still feel I need more logic to tackle stuff like that.
