By the way, as much as I read many books on my Kindle I still love reading hardcopies. Of course the problem of where to put them will soon come, but as long as I have some space, I don't care.

^ Actually, I can't make it.
I came to this through a recommendation I found in the introductory essay to Jack London's Martin Eden (probably the closest book to who I suppose I am), with the writer saying that this is the only book capable of capturing what London captures in his, but I don't know. This is from a first-person point of view, with the character mumbling and ranting about everything, which is not exactly my kind of writing.
So I am re-reading London's, because fuck yeah.

Just placed an order at my favourite local book shop (10 minutes from here, such a lovely place, fuck you Amazon):
- The World as Will and Representation (Arthur Schopenhauer)
- Twilight of the Idols (Friedrich Nietzsche)
- The Will to Power (Friedrich Nietzsche)
- Critique of Practical Reason (Immanuel Kant)
Luckily, only the third one is not that cheap. Meanwhile, almost done with Plato's Phaedo.

^ Honestly back in high school I didn't get it at all, but I wasn't getting Thomas Mann either. Some books are way too much to be approached at a young age.

^ Oh yes. Although it contains writings from late 80s, so expect Scholly D rather than Jay-Z.

Schopenhauer is life-changing. So far in my studies I haven't met a philosopher who writes as well as he does, going to great depths with such a clarity.
