I enjoy reading encyclopedias and the Oxford English Dictionary the most - concise reading matter, I guess, as I abhor rambling and other people’s cluttered thoughts.
Right now, I’m starting on the Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy:
Don’t hold his craziness against him, dude can write. Lots of good stuff going on, the tension between the ancient and the modern, physical vs. mental deformity, duty vs. freedom . . . great stuff.
I also like the Great Gatsby. A lot of the same issues, actually. New money vs. old money, internal vs. external values, yada yada. I get something new from it each time I read it.
The Giver…yeah, it’s for fifth graders, but seriously good book. I liked it because it questions what the cost is of giving up individuality for the sake of equality.
