what are you reading? - Page 80

Sorry, I mis-read that - my point still stands, but Sartre is shite, Heidegger entirely co-extensive with Hegel and Kierkegaard doesn't exist without Hegel. Nietzsche maybe, but it seems pointless going for the small fish if you've already accepted Descartes and Kant.

pbradley · 12.05.2008, 10:28 PM

I don't mean Hegel is insignificant, I've just read enough Heidegger and Kierkegaard to have extracted the salient points (i.e. Heideggering Heidegger).

Glice · 12.05.2008, 10:33 PM

Yeah... it's that thing of taking your own approach. That fat ugly German dialectical cunt needs to be read, to my mind, if only so you can say with confidence that he's a cunt. Same with Adorno, uttery cuntestry.

I've started Songs of Distant Earth by Arthur C. Clarke. I think I'm going to completely exhaust my local library's entire Clarke collection before I start reading any other author.

True, it wouldn't be much of a love of wisdom if I only exposed myself to what I find agreeable.

I just got Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes, and There's a Wocket in My Pocket by Dr. Seuss. Which should I read first?

the beggining is a bit hard to follow, but its a fun read, and after a bit it becomes a bit more coherent ( i think)

I want to read 2666. Has anyone here read it yet?

afterthefact · 12.29.2008, 08:52 AM

I am part way through Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley. So far, excellent.

noisereductions · 12.29.2008, 09:03 AM

Read Lee's forward to THE EMPTY PAGE anthology, and started thumbing thru COBAIN: UNSEEN.

I'm going through a textbook for a class my wife took a few years ago that is full of examples of post-modern fiction. There's some crazy shit in there.

acousticrock87 · 12.29.2008, 02:35 PM

I have the Anthology of Postmodern American Fiction from a class, and "crazy shit" is an accurate description.
