Here is a sketchy list of the "Symbolic Systems Reading List."  The 
criteria for this list reflects its motivation -- to give people interested 
in Symbolic Systems a list of pertinent and interesting books which 
will stimulate intellectual thought and provide possible basis for 
discussion.  If any of the references are wrong or insufficient, please 
send the correction to me.  If these suggest some addition or 
subtraction from the list, please also send the correction to me.  I 
fear that some suggestions may have been lost in the shuffle, so 
please submit again that which I may have left out.  Any comments 
at all would be helpful.  (Additionally, there is a booklet for 
prospective symbolic systems majors being put together.  It will 
include a list of possible readings, drawn at least in part from this 
list.)

thanks
