"Nonetheless, I think it a wise thing for an aspiring rationalist to read at least one book of Buddhist or Taoist or Zen philosophy - preferably a book in its original English, recommended to you by some mathematician or programmer or scientist."
Can you mention a book that you recommend or was recommended to you by a mathematician or programmer or scientist?
I'm not a mathematician or a programmer or a scientist, but I really enjoyed Raymond Smullyan's The Tao is Silent.
