I love this book because I'm interested in the first wordwar.

Has anyone a good english book for me?
It shouldn't be too hard to read. I like historical books. Thanks!

Hahahaha I remember a famous teacher from EHESS (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, pretty good school in France) telling me that some years ago that he was reading a book from Lacan (don't remember witch one) and did not understand shit since 10 or 15 years. Never manage to finish it.

So funny.

I'm reading this :

Either a book to point at and pretend you're smart, or a book that will give you headaches as well as rich rewards for your efforts to understand it. You won't understand everything unless you're Penrose, Hawking, or a reincarnated Poincaré, but at least the information is there all in one place on your bookshelf.

Dont have pics to upload, but recently finished reading Spud by Johan van de Ruit. Its about a boy in South Africa who starts his high school career in 1990 when Nelso Mandela was released from Prison. Was a great book, even took my memory back to my own high school days.

I'm currently reading Lord of the Rings for the 3rd time because I just love the story, and one of the Characters in Spud inspired me to read it again.

Next on the list is the Inkheart series by Cornelea Flunke which is apparently about a guy who writes things and they come true. Looking forward to this as new authors are interesting to read. Really hope it turns out to be a great book!

Just read the first one of the series, Wolf of the Plains. Does the series get better in your opinion? I liked the first book, just wondering.

Also, recently read Frankenstein. Epic.

1) I recently finished Descartes' Meditations.
2) I am once again trying to read Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. This will be my 3rd attempt.
3) What I will read in the future: Kant's Critique Pure Reason (hah)

I am once again reading Roger Zelazny's "Lord of Light", and it's still one of the best (scifi) books I've ever read.

(yeah, I stole the pic from Amazon)

If you're into science fiction with interesting characters and an intriguing plot / development, try it out. You won't be disappointed, and it's not labeled as one of the "SF Masterworks" without a reason.

Not really, considering that it's one of the most popular series in the world at the moment :D. There will be a few dozen with that choice by the end of the year.

Jacques Lacan said he wanted to write more of a religious text than a straight piece of criticism. To the extent that Lacanian psychoanalysis is practically exegesis of goofy theoretical whims than anything approaching a science, the uninitiated might be better off letting the craziness wash over them rather than trying to understand everything Lacan says.

Although, if you haven't read Freud, I'd suggest doing that first.

(I don't like Freud or Lacan or psychoanalysis in general that much, but I'm just saying.)
