all I can say is "yes!". I have a ton of programming books that I would love to re-read and discuss even (the art of the meta object protocol, let over lambda, on lisp etc.) but I would also be down with relevant math and fiction stuff.
The problem is that you'll maybe find two other people on this site who understand functional and meta-programming well enough to discuss the issues with you (and I'm not yet one of them).
