herman philipse - god in the age of science?
4,5/5
I have too much David Chalmersian leanings to give too much credit to his arguments for the incoherence of a bodiless person (consciousness insofar as we know only supervenes on nervous systems etc). As immaterial God could supposedly affect the universe like a programmer would without manifesting himself inside the creation, whether we could have epistemic access to said acts is another issue. Other than his utter annihilation of Plantinga's and Swinburne's cases was entertaining, he had some savage burns every now and then as well. I also wish he had spent some more pages on the problem of evil since it's arguably the best argument vs god, followed by hiddenness.
Otherwise his*

Knausgaard - My Struggle: Volume One
3.5/5
>Knowledge: A Very Short Introduction.
5.5. Excellent introduction to epistemology. Very easy to read and follow through, and I feel like I have learned as much as a 1000 page non-fiction tome in under 120 pages.
I just started the one on metaphysics, them i'm going in on some primary texts like Descartes, Leibniz and Spinoza (I got a book with all three).

I don't think I like Murakami
Ficciones
8/10
As I Lay Dying. Was my second Faulkner, after Sound and Fury. Hard to say which I enjoyed more, but both were easily 4/5.
Seriously Murakami is a fucking joke. Haven't read this or Wood though, so not gonna judge those, but the hype is fucking real. His books are so fucking mediocre it hurts and confuses the fuck out of me.
American psycho
4/5
Much better (and far more disturbing)than I was expecting. Bateman's autism had me frequently laughing out loud
Count of Monte cristo.
5/5
Lolita, by Nabakov.
2.5/5
Beautiful sentences, but I disliked much the experimentation; the first half and some of the second were great, but book ended too late. Ultimately, I see Lolita as a corrupting force to Humbert, but he himself is not innocent; she was ruined before he got to her; she made his Old World vices more 'American', i.e. greater in depravity with new corollaries.
The Member of the Wedding
2.5/5
A sad little story. Definitely weaker than The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, but still worth a read.

Just looked up the series, wow. They have a very short introduction for every single subject. Tempted to just buy 20 of them but I'll find a torrent instead.
