I really enjoyed that book.

I'd also recommend the book "On Intelligence" to anyone who is interested in how the brain works. One of the authors, formerly a chip designer at Intel turned biologist lays out his theory on how the brain works and why AI doesn't. The difference between this book and others on the brain is that it lays out a complete framework on how the brain works, rather than analysing any particular piece.

On Intelligence is from 2004, but the authors' theory is still a good one.
