Books ARGH Us!

Yes i use audible on my phone. I like it. In addition to books, there are also quite a few free things - books and channels. I don't find it too expensive because i mostly use it to listen to things over and over as background at work, or while doing other things.

I also love neil gaiman's books. Neverwhere is one of my favorites of his.

Hmm... I own his book American Gods when I went on a binge buying books once. Judging by my small library, I've done that many times. lol I looked up Neverwhere and it seems like it was a BBC tv show for awhile. hmmm, I wonder how well those turned out. Did you see them?

I love Neil gaimans books. My favorite is the graveyard book

I want to read Norse Mythology by him but its always checked out at the library

@DayTripper no, i didn't see the show.

I'm compiling a list of books I want to read, after I'm finished re-reading the HP series.

Anyone read World War Z ? I bought it several years ago. I know it became a movie. I haven't watched the movie or gotten around to reading the book yet but I will soon.

I have Edgar Allen Poe's completed works, I'd like to get into that. Maybe read a story from it each day

Blue bird, Show us the list! Show us the list! Show us the list!

I'm reading Thomas Reid's An Inquiry in the Human Mind ont he Principles of Common Sense right now. It's from the 18th century. Good philosophy.

I haven't read World War Z. I saw the movie with Brad Pitt, which I thought was great as far as zombie movies go.

After I'm done reading this Ill read Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations and Wittgenstein's Philoosphy of Psychology by Malcom Budd, but I wont get to those for a good while. I plan on doing a dialogue on Each philosopher like I did in my book. Ill tuck it away in my book that will never go published.

After I'm done with those two philosophers Ill give up hardcore philosophy for awhile to work on my new book project titled Torch. It's fiction, Ender's Game meets Matrix.

This is a book that I have mentioned a couple of times during the sz chat.

So far I have a few on my list:

World War Z
Edgar Allen Poes complete works
Pride and prejudice
And the Lord of the Rings trilogy (I have the hobbit which I've read, my mom bought it for me several years ago so I'll probably re-read it sometime and then start on the trilogy

Has anyone read a disability of the soul? It's abou sz in Japan and apparently includes two movies....I'm thinking about buying it but not sure....

Oh i forgot i need to post my books here

This is a list of books i bought, but im not reading them yet:

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

The Nature of Things by Lucretius

Letters from a Stoic by Seneca

Principles of Philosophy by Rene Descartes

A Brief History of Thought by Luc Ferry

Oh yea

And Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

I'm reading an exciting book right now:

VMware Horizon 7: Install, Configure, Manage plus App Volumes Fast Track
Horizon 7: Install, Configure, Manage Lecture Manual by VMware Education Services

It's such an interesting read!

I read the amazon intro. It looks... sincere. An interesting, wholistic, communal approach to it. I hope it's helpful for those to work given their illness. What makes you want to read this in particular?

Oh I've already read most of the sz books.....this one I haven't, I like different perspectives....

I've read The Center Cannot Hold. I started to read When the Music Ends, but that started with a dead baby joke... that's hard to come back from. I relate to the title though! It's about a man's delusional life and his eventual suicide, true story.

I started to read a book called The Rational Intuition, a psychological/philosophical introduction to try and define this mysterious thing we call our intuition. I wanted to read it to try and understand more about the hijacked intuition we people with schizophrenia have. I bounced around a lot, because it was basically acomplilation of different articles trying to define it. The last one took a Jungian approach to it and try to weave creativity into it and I thought his interpretation was fascinating. One author invoked Kant and explained our intuition of space and time that we inherently which makes understanding the outside world possible at all. In general, what they most agreed upon was that our intuition is something that are given beliefs we instantly assume, that only a philosopher would question lol. Like there is an outside world would be another, or that when you touch seomthing like wood you would intutitiuve belief it is hard because of how it felt. These two are examples I'm using from the current book I'm reading called An Inquiry into the Human Mind by Thomas Reid. Ancient 18th philosophy. Still a good read though!

I recommended that book to you!!!

Here is another good book by a Jungian analysis.

Just read Star Wars Revan. It suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked cat balls. Then ending was terrible. Cringe worthy even! What a terrible story. It was so anti climatic. Depressing. They take one of the most powerful characters in the star wars universe and aborted him.

I started to listen to Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. It reminded me of Cormac's The Road. There was a good book! Anyway, I didn't like this one so much. It was all science... more science than story. meh.

Jung's method of enlightenment was a self proclaimed sz episode that lasted awhile. His journal, The Red Book, can be bought that records his madness in vivid artwork done by himself. The sad part is is that it's all in german. The translation is just a text, no artwork, which is pretty lame.

I really do enjoy is his depth psychology, not as much as Nietzsche's but it's way more enjoyable than Freud's. It's a real page turner. Here is the book I recommend.

I was gonna buy the Red Book off amazon but its insanely expensive

It's not worth a buy, I used the library program to fetch it from a different ibrary and bring it in, and that's how I checked it out. As I said, everything is in german so meh. The English translation can be had for a cheap price though.

Thanks for the link and recommendation Day Tripper. Here is a ink to a two part Library of Congress discussion of Jung and his Red Book. The two part together are about 5 hours long but there is some interesting dialogue in there.

Im halfway finished with On the Shortness Of Life by Seneca
