the bass player of The Specials writing about his experience in one of the greatest bands of their day. really well written, funny in parts, never self glamorizing

I'm chipping away at the Greek tragedies still. I kind of wish I didn't read 3 different versions of one story (Libation Bearers, Electra, Electra). Right now I'm wrapping up The Trojan Women. Man, Odysseus was a real dick.

Part of me wishes that the entire saga starting from Pelops to Odysseus and back to Orestes/Iphigenia would be turned into an HBO series.

Will be receiving Plato - The Republic, Sun Tzu - Art of War, Lao-Tzu - Tao Te Ching and Ori Hofmekler - The Anti-Estrogenic Diet tomorrow. The first 3 are nice coffee-table books and the latter is something I plan on devouring straight away. Besides that, got Napoleon on the Art of War and American Psycho with a piece of paper halfway next to my bed.

Anything in particular that you can elaborate on? I may just have to go to the library and check it out.

Have you read Allison's Kant's Transcendental Idealism, by chance?

Kant is like a lobotomy without anesthesia.
