William gibson has an endorsement on the cover of 'the forever war'. Really bill? Cmon You're just scared of old people having sex again. :p | ||

![[image loading]](http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1176265838l/609087.jpg) Dialectic of Enlightnement. I didn't get a good chunk of it, the rest was very good. Thanks to sam and farva for this  ![[image loading]](http://ca.pbsstatic.com/l/70/8470/9780393008470.jpg) Five lessons on psychoanalysis. Nice and easy read. Tractatus logico-philosophicus. The only meaningful parts are the 10 or so philosophical statements. Yeah, I think I could write a whole book of bad jokes on this book. Seriously though, no, even though there is a certain poetry to the last 3 pages. Just started : ![[image loading]](http://hardapa.ucoz.hu/xenophon_anabasis.jpg) | ||

Although I wouldn't touch any of Kafka's books for leisure. A past literature subject has completely scarred me from wanting to read any German existentialism. Right now i'm enjoying this gem: Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened ![[image loading]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51vxF-Hj1rL.jpg) | ||

![[image loading]](http://media.cleveland.com/books_impact/photo/11587589-large.jpg) Every Day by David Levithan A friend who works at the publishing company sent it to me for free. Didn't have high hopes but actually loved it. Would definitely recommend it. | ||

![[image loading]](http://img2.imagesbn.com/p/9780547545929_p0_v2_s260x420.JPG) Third part of the Origins of totalitarianism. Cause apparently the rest of the book is hard to find in French. Incredible read so far, but not exactly hapiness-inducing. Also, lol : http://old.nationalreview.com/100best/100_books.html | ||

The tractarus is a masterpiece, but not as a "book", more like a series of questionning - at least that's how I've understood it when I read it back when I was still a student. | ||
