Chuck Klosterman looks good though. Maybe I'll read something of his.

Also, I never knew people read so much non-fiction.

And just started

I'm loving it, and I know I'm going to be sad after I finish Resolve, as the next book isn't due out until the summer of 08. I'll likely finish it (even though I'm only about 40 pages in ) a couple hours after I wake up. I'd continue reading now, but I'm beat.

I'd recommend the series to anyone who likes Science-Fiction/Fantasy, or anyone who enjoys reading in general.

The other books, in order are
Way of the Wolf
Choice of the Cat
and Tale of the Thunderbolt

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i've never heard anyone mention that book until now. If you want to discuss i'm here. There was a Murakami short story in the new yorker a few years back that's also good. His stories are like shinto-jungian esque, very good writer.

on an unrelated note, any randists feeling like being a sacrificial sheep? make a debate thread on objectivism, haha.
We have fed the heart on fantasies, the heart's grown brutal from the fare, more substance in our enmities than in our love

I'm reading a couple of books for highschool which starts on Monday.
Finished The Great Gatsby a few days ago, Frankenstein Yesterday, and Oedipus Cycle like a week ago.
Now I'm reading Heart of Darkness.


The Great Gatsby alone took me an entire semester, numerous papers, and a lot of will strength to finish

you tell me what objectivism is and i'll debate about it, atlas shrugged seems to be every twenty year old college student's favorite book but Ayn Rand isn't well-regarded in continental philosophy

I'm reading Failed States by Noam Chomsky atm. So far its been about how the US government avoids addressing the needs and wants of the majority of its public and acts as though international laws do not apply to the US.

[image loading]


The part I just finished reading was about US intervention in Kosovo, which is widely held in the intellectual west to be an "illegal but legitimate" action. According to these intellectuals, the action was legitimate because diplomatic avenues had been exhausted and further Serbian atrocities would've been witnessed had NATO not bombed promptly.

Chomsky shows that there were still diplomatic actions available to Western powers in dealing with Milosovic and the Serbs, and that the Serbian atrocities, while bad, were made worse, not better, as the result of the bombings. As evidence to this assertion, Chomsky cites Milosovic's war crimes charges, as most of the atrocities he was charged with occurred after the NATO bombing. Chomsky also cites detailed studies: In the year leading up to the NATO bombings, 2000 people were killed in Kosovo as the result of conflicts between the Serbs and the KLA (Albanian guerrillas). According to Nicholas Wheeler's study (which happened to support the NATO bombing), only a disappointing 500 of these 2000 murders could be attributed to the Serbs. After the NATO bombing, as many as 800,000 Kosovars were forcibly deported, among other atrocities.

Chomsky concludes that the NATO bombing of Kosovo was not a humanitarian action that happened to break international law, but a fully illegal action with no legitimate justifications, unless you ascribe to the belief that might makes right. He goes beyond this assertion to posit that the bombing wasn't even a failed attempt at humanitarian intervention, but was in fact "to assure 'the credibility of NATO,' meaning the United States". To further underline this point, Chomsky recalls that the US and NATO did not intervene in East Timor, where Indonesians were committing genocide in efforts to convince the Timorese to acquiesce to their annexation attempts. Chomsky implies that had the NATO bombing of Kosovo been done for humanitarian reasons, NATO should also have bombed Indonesia as a matter of principle.

From the chapter's conclusion: "Few questions are more important today than the propriety of the use of force. No doubt one can imagine, perhaps even find, genuine cases of humanitarian intervention. But there is, always, a heavy burden of proof. And the historical record should give us pause. We might recall, for example, the observations of one of the major scholarly studies of humanitarian intervention. The author finds three examples of such intervention between the 1928 Kellogg-Briand pact outlawing war and the UN Charter in 1945: Japan's invasion of Manchuria and northern China, Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia, and Hitler's takeover of parts of Czechoslovakia. Not, of course, that he regards these as genuine examples, but rather that they were depicted as such, and evidence was provided, which, however grotesque, was regarded with some ambivalence-- and sometimes support-- by the United States and Britain. [...] It tends to support the measured judgment of the World Court, in 1949, that 'the Court can only regard the alleged right of intervention as the manifestation of a policy of force, such as has, in the past, given rise to the most serious abuses and such as cannot, whatever be the defects in international organization, find a place in international law ...; from the nature of things, [intervention] would be reserved for the most powerful states, and might easily lead to perverting the administration of justice itself.'"

So that's what I'm reading.
