Thanks for the recommendation.  I think Penrose does an amazingly
good job in his books ...I've especially gotten (and continue to get) a
lot of good out of his "Shadows of the Mind" book.

I also like Davies little QM book (which I bought based on Penrose's
recommendation). But I've always found Bohr's writing to be very
obtuse.  Bohm and Dirac are much more to my liking (although they
have quite different writing styles).
