Books read May 2008, with date finished:

Islamic Design: a Genius for Geometry, Daud Sutton (3rd)
Foucault's Pendulum, Umberto Eco (5th, r.)
Wild Palms, Bruce Wagner and Julian Allen (7th, r.)
Patterns, Drusilla Cole (9th)
Under the Skin, Michael Faber (10th)
Earth Abides, George R. Stewart (11th)
Psychogeography, Merlin Coverley (11th)
The Wild Palms Reader, Roger Trilling and Stuart Swezey (13th, r.)
Incandescence, Greg Egan (17th)
From Atoms to Patterns, Lesley Jackson (17th)
Understanding Material Culture, Ian Woodward (30th)
Annals of the Former World, John McPhee (31st)

The books on patterns have been inspirational, as was Woodward which has opened up new ways of thinking for me. But I unreservedly recommend Annals of the Former World which is geological in topic, size, and narrative form. Astounding and volumetric.
