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.

^ you get that *mumble* potatoes *mumbles* here enough I guess

^ Actually our rants are far more interesting!

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.

they sell vinyl in bloody e. leclerc here. ok vendu des temps en temps (probably not a great deal better) but hey

i have only read kids books for .. a long time. thoughts and prayers guys !
(i'd only read LotR anyway)

Goethe. Damn. He tortured me at school. :)

^ 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.

took me long enough to work out the title :D

Very interesting titile and subject.

^ 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.
