Movie suggestion
If you haven't gotten a chance to see Moon, I highly recommend it. Those who are familiar with the literature will see all the references to personal identity. The director was once a grad student in philosophy.

Here's a quick read: The Semantics of Murder
A murder mystery novel by Aifric Campbell loosely based on the life and death of Richard Montague famed for his Montague grammar. It's probably a weekend read. It isn't very deep but it's entertainment and a distraction if you need one.
