I'll have to bump it up a few spots in the queue. You've read Malcolm Gladwell's stuff, right? <em>The Tipping Point</em> and all that? He oversimplifies things sometimes, but he makes some great connections. I'm pretty sure you'd love every single word the man says. Also if I had an extra digit in my bank account balance I would totally visit you over the summer. =) Man, Julia, you’re like the fourth person that’s recommended that book to me!

Also, since you have time on your hands and are using it well, you should read The Black Swan.. perhaps the author tries a little too hard to make the subject accessible to the general public and the whole narrative becomes less interesting that it would otherwise be... it's worth a read though (although i am only half way through it). Some stuff will probably sound dull and obvious to you (good thing i didnt major in marketing!), but i think when it comes to reality and what we think we understand, what we don't know is just as important as what we do know and it is cool to read those who stand up and try to develop this line of thought.

Lots of sexy maths. More or less — They’ve got quite a few people focusing on algorithms and theory of computation-type stuff, and that’s pretty much what I’d like to be doing. Lots of sexy maths.
