Still reading Albert Camus’ The Fall: a man’s monologue about how once he was in grace and then his eventual fall from it.
Also started reading Twilight of the Idols by Friedrich Nietzsche. The subtitle is: “How to philosophize with a hammer”. So yes, basically this book is a declaration of philosophical war against lots of things…
I’m reading “Sophie’s World” at the moment. I’ve tried reading the book before but never finished it because I found it a little too childish… but now I have to read it for my philosophy class, so I’m reading that. It’s actually not as bad as I first thought it would be.
About to start ‘Turn Of The Screw’, although my teacher gave the whole book away to me this morning If I enjoy this, I’ll pick it as one of my books for my study this year.
Just finished reading “Pandoras star” by Peter F. Hamilton last night, so now I’m about to start with the sequel, “Judas unchained”. Fascinating stuff, anybody the least bit into scifi should look some of his books up.
The Golden Bough by James Fraser (although i’m not sure how Bough is pronounced ). Though I think I’m not gonna go through with it. I’m feeling very mentally exhausted now and univ starts in a week. So I think i’ll take this week off. I’ll restart reading when univ starts. Ah i know for most people univ/school starting means less oppurtinity and time to read, but it’s quite the opposite for me. I read to much in univ days to keep my mind off stuff like worrying about studying and exams… weird maybe ^^
I just got finished reading The zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks and am almost finished with Mind Hacks by Tom Stafford & Matt Webb (it has taken me forever because at times that book reads like an manuel to put together a toaster.
Hopefully tomorrow I can buy “the Pinhoe Egg” by Diana Wynne Jones, my favourite author. I’m not reading anything at the moment - got through three books yesterday and today I’m trying to focus on writing instead.
