    Anton Chekhov: Five Plays

    Thanks, I will immensely relax once finals week is over next week and I get to take a break from assignments and choose what I would like to read. Like Chekhov! :D

    Happy Birthday Raven!!!

    Lol, happy birthday man. Enjoy your dinner with your son, I can think of nothing more enjoyable on my dad's birthday than getting to take him out to eat and talk. Have a good day :)

    Anton Chekhov: Five Plays

    Ya, been trying to keep up. Between school and funerals and what not, life has been flipped upside down lately. However, even though I"m not posting as much, I still usually flip through the posts and get a laugh or two. Discussion seemingly has drifted further away from books as of late...

    Dan Brown

    I agree with Raven on this point even though I'm not a Dan Brown fan. I'd at least give the DaVinci Code a shot, then go from there.

    Somethings missing....

    What's wrong with having a bard in a movie?! I think it would be have been a great addition....although I think pretty much everything in movie's was a great addition to the books.

    Herman Melville: Moby Dick

    Writing a term paper on the simularity of Melville's story created in Moby Dick to the world as it was seen through Hobbes' eyes in Leviathan and his solutions to the problem of human nature. Basically the possibility of overlapping politcial philosophy from Hobbes into the story of Moby Dick...

    Book Format question

    I can't really take mass paperback if I plan on enjoying the book. I don't like the font, and it's too squished in for me to do my normal scribbling in the book. On that note, I'm sure the type of book makes a difference, so I'm not sure if my habits in this matter really apply. However, I do...

    Semi-philosophic/insightful book suggestions

    Didn't think it was that pretentious.....as far as your reference to jerking off, perhaps, but sometimes I'd rather just have an ecclectic mix of views as opposed to an end all conclusion made.

    Vladimir Nabokov: Lolita

    If you take out the age of Lolita, would you not be prone to some of the same responses as Humbert if you were madly in love with a girl? No context needed.

    Smart Tolkien

    I don't think there was any doubt he was an intelligent man. I think most consider him an amazing linguist if you look at some of his work, he just can't write. Although, I'm not sure how this discovery really gives Tolkein credit for anything except having characters that were popular in the...

    Vladimir Nabokov: Lolita

    Would you not be susceptible to those things for love?

    Supersize Me

    I'm not saying that it is necessarily true, but who's to say it's not? Perhaps a combination of chemical attraction combined with psychological attachement is the answer. The point is that I'm not going to assume I know the answer simply because I want to believe some deeper form of love is...

    Vladimir Nabokov: Lolita

    It's been far too long since I've read this, but I do remember empathizing with Humbert. I'll leave it at that until I have a chance to reread it.

    Supersize Me

    It doesn't seem to be trying to be philosophy so much as a reflection of reality. Whether you accept or not is contingent on your perceptions, but it's truth or falsity remains unattainable.
