Ha, as an instructor I am stuck with the curriculum and rereading ]Fahrenheit 451, Dracula, The Time Machine, Rosencrants Guildenstern are Dead, Candide, The Heart of Darkness.[/u] Considering the level I am working with I think The Time Machine will do.
LOL, you are as bad as I am, several books at once.

Awesome.
Dunamis
only the “for fun” stuff am i reading by choice, but the uni stuff is good enough at the moment that i thought i’d include it.
Quick update:
Atonement Ian McEwan
Labyrinths Jorge Luis Borges
Ethics Spinoza… ergh. Its horrible, based on the ontological argument so theres little of philosophical value and the style is even worse. Combine the inscrutableness of the Tractatus with the wading-through-sludge of Kant.
Brilliant!
I liked your pic BTW…

I didn’t read Nietzsche yesterday, I made this immense sacrifice for reading a book introduced by a housemate. I needed to get some grip on it be so that I could start a retohric with him on it tonight. Wish me luck, I’ll need it. This guy is a poet graduated from Oxford, the book he gave me is Poetry In Theory by Jon Cook. So it’ll be a battle fought in his own backyard. So far I’ve managed to read Freud, Heidegger and Fenollosa’s ideas regarding poetry. How much I got out of them, I can’t really say. I’ll be informed by the end of tonight anyway.
Here, I must say that, Freud, is the man. Heidegger’s linguistical approach is way too metaphysical for me and Fenollosa’s fantastic link-up of Sinogram eptymology with English poetry, despite of its absolute ingenuity, only takes up a limited point against the backgroud of poetry analysis as a whole. Back to the man that is Freud, who struck me as thoroughly Nietzschean from the marrow to the skin, from his psychoanalysis to his word phrasing. I smelt Human All Too Human in his essay that’s quoted in the book, Creative Writting and Day Dreaming. It’s unrefutable and concise. It’s brilliant in all ways. Hail Freud, whom I increasingly consider as Nietzsche’s triumphant soldier in the field of psychology.

Cool book Dunamis. I found that text much more palatable than anything from Marx/Engels.
