Coomaraswamy was nuts. I've never actually read any of his stuff though

Hehe, just in general or are you referring to something particular? He had some dealings with Alastair Crowley, who also stole his wife I believe, but whenever "The wickedest man in England" is involved, rumors are bound to thrive.

haha, just in general.

Been meaning to read this.

Good book, one of the best Atheist books out there.



I finally finished this:

(LOVED IT)

and I'm reading this now:

So far it's good.

I'm re-reading Kafka's The Trial. Does anyone else here like Kafka?

No I haven't finished The God Delusion or The Weather Makers yet.....sometimes I'm reading like 5+ books at once...it's all good.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Kafka rules.

 

[spaffe]

Kafka is indeed excellent and also quite funny at times. I prefer The Castle to The Trial and I'll read Die Verwandlung pretty soon since it's part of my german course -- it's a shame I haven't done so earlier

 

[cthulufhtagn]

finished palahniuk's haunted today...good not amazing, a few real stomach-churning moments in classic chuck fashion

 

[~Neurotica]

Kafka rules.

Fa sho!

Sus, did you like The Metamorphosis? Man, it made me cry in the end. I'm such a wuss.

Yeah it's so weird, when I read The Trial in high school, i didn't pick up on a lot of his humour---but now I do. Though when I read it previously I believe it was right after I read The Master and Margarita, and that book is hilarious at times. Now I'm reading it after months of non-fiction. =P

Don't get me wrong I love non-fiction...but its' really nice to have a fictional world to escape to and play in sometimes.

I'll have to pick up some more Kafka. I think i'll go order the Castle on amazonnn.

nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: Σίβυλλα τί θέλεις; respondebat illa: αποθανεῖν θέλω

I buy academic monographs for fun reading... does that make me weird?

 

[~Neurotica]

I buy books produced for medical universities (like microbiology course) because those are really interesting for me... does that make me weird?

 

[MajestikMøøse]

from my standpoint, I suppose not!

I haven't read it yet! Should I read that next??

 

[~Neurotica]

Definitely. Symbolism rules, remember?

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Cracking into Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" tonight. Almost finished with "The Iron Heel" by Jack London.

I read that one ages and ages ago. I liked it but I don't remember any of it. Now you know!
