I spent two years on Plato
Plato is a freaking pleb.
T-two years????
R-really? I'm sorry.
Plato spent his entire life.
w-get some dedication
good call with Rousseau. I'm actually re-reading that right now. Next will be a Locke or Hobbes re-read because I'm developing an autistic obsession with the topic.
How is it different than Leviathan? It probably supports democracy, rather than monarchy, right?
been reading the illiad for about 7 years
currently enjoying William Blake
don't really have anything to read next. nothing really holds my attention anymore.
Yeah, and grounding this idea on the (more or less) modern definition of mankind as freedom. Therefore there can be no other legitimate state than a Republic. Whether you're a citizen of a Republic, or you're a beast or a slave.

Nothing, finished The Picture of Dorian Gray yesterday and haven't really had time to start something new today. Will probably read Stoner now though and after that I don't know, most likely some other entry level stuff.
yeah. And Aristotle is much more interesting so eat shit
Defiance by Savitri Devi.
Going to read Moby Dick next.
Now: American Psycho
Then: I don't know
I'm just now getting back into reading books after purging most forms of multimedia from my life so something interesting but easy going would be nice.

Vertigo by Sebald
Selected Non Fiction by Borges
It's been two weeks of on and off again reading almost done with Borges barely 80 pages into Vertigo
Next
??? haven't decided
>needing a reason to dislike Ayn Rand besides the book itself
No
It's not like a story of a man having a disappointing marriage/job/life told in mediocre prose is hard to come by or anything. It's fine but not really an engaging read or even an emotional one
Strategy and Power in Russia 1600-1913 - Fuller
Russia and the Russians - Hosking
Romanovs - Montefiore
A fellow Russian History class student atm eh?
Yes sir.
You read any of those texts?
His political philosophy and epistemology are interesting and may have even swayed me towards his views but I like philosophy for metaphysics and Aristotle wrestles with more of those kinds of problems.
$wget dedication

Either/or
reading Adventures of Biker Frog and Lady White Bear: Revenge of the Widow since it just came out in January
excellent read especially if you like Fantasy
How is it? The most recent work I ever read recently was Nathaniel Miller's book on formalizing Euclidean geometry.
I can't even remember the last time I read a modern fictional work. "Home" maybe...?
