Ah, the joy of a first year neuroscience graduate student. Currently I am going through rotations, my second lab rotation to be precise. I still haven't decided which lab I will do my third rotation through, or even if I will do a third rotation. I must say that this is different from when I did graduate school 1.0, which was in a psychology program. The philosophy of all the psychology programs I have seen is "If you don't know what lab you want to work in, don't even bother applying." But, there we are. Anyway, I realized following one of my recent posts that I, to my embarrassment, have never read The Logic of Scientific Discovery. While not a necessity, it would probably be a good idea to read the book that has become the basis of all modern scientific investigation. Also, I have a copy of The Art of Electronics that I should look through. And The Axon Guide would be good to at least thumb through. But beyond that, I haven't really thought of any other books I should be looking at.
I'm not thinking popularized books like Descartes's Error or Brainstorming (which are both fine books) but more like the seminal and/or technically informative books listed above. Feel free to e-mail suggestions or post them as a comment.
