Poisoner-In-Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind-Control
>Thoughts
It's extremely silly the sort of nonsense that they used to get up to in the '50s, but Kinzler is extremely naive to think that the black-baggings, poisonings, psychological experimentation etc ended just because Gottlieb left the CIA and MKUltra got wound down. Even from the sources Kinzler presents in the book it's obvious that Gottlieb was scapegoated and that MKUltra has been dolled up to distract from the many, many other skeletons in the closet. Nice book though, very readable and reasonably well-researched. Stylistically competent, it has personality but doesn't fall into the pitfalls of quipping or excessive moralism that you see in a lot of journalistic writing nowadays.

Louis XI by Paul Murray Kendall

It's amazing but I wish he would've just included all the most interesting details directly in the main text instead of having to look at the end notes for the tea on the latest court drama. I always wish there was more about Charles the Bold when he's not directly interacting with Louis, since the most interesting part of the book so far (halfway through) is their relationship (especially when you know the ending)

Heinrich von Ofterdingen by Novalis
I am only 30 pages in. I expected the prose to be much harder. But it is such a smooth read. The descriptions of nature are chill too. It makes me wanting to go on a walk, which is what I will do now. But I don't really now where the story is going. Until now it feels like random fantasy novel, in which the power systems and magic is replaced by poems. Like the dude in the beginning randomly started reciting a poem and playing an instrument and he got like +10 luck. Nature suddenly was completely protecting him.

Critique of Pure Reason
Where to begin. The edition i have has both the a and b edition on the same page with the an occupying the bottom half. The exposition for his system he gives in A, of the synthesis of apprehension, to reproduction to recognition as a means of connecting sensible intuition to the faculty of understanding is almost quite “beautiful”. And to be conscious of yourself performing this cognitive process is quite fun. A has a more idealistic exposition that B seems to lack, so far.

Every time I come back to Kant I feel the same way, I find some kind of autistic pleasure on the way he elaborates his ideas. Nevertheless, I dislike and deeply resent the influence he had on philosophy from his point forward, specially regarding Metaphysics (though I believe it was not his intent, he's very straightforward on this topic on the chapter about transcendental dialectics). I'm convinced his work exhausted all the potential that our "faustian" modernity had, so in a sense, he may as well be the greatest modern philosopher, though at the same time, it is also understandable how modernity started to go downhill shortly afterwards.

The Histories by Herodotus

I started reading it thinking it was going to be bland and difficult. I'm just about done with book 2 which is all about Egypt. Each book is around 100 pages and there are 7 of them I believe. It's all super interesting and sometimes funny as fuck. Like Queen Nitocris of Babylon making her tomb a practical joke. Shit had me rolling. There was some city that did a big auction once a year for brides and you had to pay for a hot wife and the money for the hot girls went to paying men to marry the ugly ones. Herodotus also has a sense of humor and makes various jokes and puns. The Greeks are cool.

>I think the first issue stems from the ding an sich, and how subsequent idealists took the unknowable nature of that and sought to refute that.
Absolutely, but it is not only access to the knowledge of nature that is closed off, but the entirety of metaphysics, which in addition to nature (cosmos) includes God and the soul (according to Kant, at least).
You're right in your intuition regarding idealism, since authors like Fichte, Schelling, and specially Hegel tried to "solve" the problem inherited from Kant by attributing to things like history or community the "transcendent" attribute that, ironically, was lost in Kant, but the answer, in a Traditional sense, was still a necessarily immanent solution. Moreover, other schools of thought, like early and late Romanticism, keep this critical view of Metaphysics while trying to solve the same problems by focusing on things like culture and the community, trading the focus on rationality for the longing for the absolute. I think Nietzsche was the first one to actually acknowledge this catastrophe by giving up on metaphysics entirely and focusing entirely on the immanent, though we may argue if this actually a good thing or just a sign of the Zeitgeist of the time.

I'm in the United States. Basically no Ulysses-related things occurred to me. I don't really have an explanation as to why, because I was staying in Galway at the time and I put a lot of effort into trying to get into this house on Nun's Island that's in the ending of The Dead (when Gretta tells Gabriel that this young lad from her hometown used to throw rocks at her window? the house she grew up in in the story) with no success. There was a giant fucking gate stretching over the walkway connecting the house-containing segment of Nun's Island to the riverwalk, and I spent several shitfaced evenings trying to climb around the fence with no luck. So it's not like Joyce wasn't on my mind. But I took the train to Dublin and just fucking forgot all about him for no discernible reason. I'll probably never go to Dublin again. It still bothers me

Our youth has gone to the ends of the earth to die in the silence of the truth. And where, I ask you, can a man escape to, when he hasn’t enough madness left inside him?

>STEPHEN: (Strangled with rage) Shite (His features grow drawn and grey and old)
>BLOOM: (At the window) What?

Might just be the most systematic take on J-A. Miller's thought and practice. Not quite on Lacan, more specifically on Miller.

-"All the fiends of hell" by Adam Nevill
wanted to read some horror for inspiration purposes, and I remembered this guy was the author of The ritual, a movie I liked
-The novel was alright, very mid horror with some interesting world building and themes, made me feel uncomfortable at times because of how mundane and plausible some of the scenarios were, like something from our near future or recent past.

Ungeduld des Herzens (Beware of Pity)
Just finished it earlier today. Bleak sinkhole of a book, but it's a simple, breezy read despite that. Read it in 3 days. Extremely delicate prose with easy similes, some nice alliteration, and some passages of intense psychological writing that rivals the masters of that style towards the end. I think it'll stick with me, if only because of how tragic it is, but it isn't something I'd care to reread. Still an easy recommendation, and I have Zweig's complete works here so I'll definitely eventually read his other works.
Been feeling a cold coming, so I'll take it easy for my next read and might just do a comfy reread of Shakespeare.

After some initial skepticism, I'm beginning to believe Deleuzian philosophy is a genuine attempt at doing something non-platonic.

Deleuze especially sounds like he really has something to say, although he's terrible at saying it. Still, I think I'll go back to Difference and Repetition after this. Anti Oedipus is a bit overwhelming but it got me curious.

The problem is his works need an editor. I suspect they could get down to the size of the Enchiridion if it was only his ideas, but he's obsessed with giving endless examples or compare and contrast rather than expanding on his own. Those have their place but it shouldn't have taken as long as it did for his totems idea in Revolt, for example.

Meditations on the Peaks was a little sad. I suspect some of that was written later in life and put into editions and he's yearning to be able to walk again.

Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

So far I'm really enjoying it. This is my first Sanderson novel and I went into it skeptical since he gets shit on constantly but it has been a very enjoyable read thus far. I have heard many say that this is his best book so maybe the rest of his works are more lackluster while this is a diamond in the rough but this is just loose speculation since again, this is my first book from him. I'm really enjoying the character of Kaladin in particular.

Im a huge Halo CE fan so figured I’d HAVE to read the book that inspired the Flood.
It’s pretty gripping. Author had a life and wasn’t a loser homebody, and it shows.
Amusing casual racism, were South Koreans not liked during the 80s? They’re all ‘slit-eyed’ thugs or bodyguards in this book.
I wish the author would take a fucking breath and let the characters develop somewhat. One 300 year old billionaire reveals his uncle tried to rape him when he was 9 and its just never elaborated on. In no way does it impact his character or the way he treats people.
The alien bad guys are very unique and their invasion is sensible and well-written.
8/10, its schlock but pretty damn good schlock

Side note, Im so glad this nigga isnt dead. Whenever I find a new author I love, it turns out they died a few months ago.
Im sorry Iain Banks and Le Guin

Our Band Could Be Your Life

Just finished it, it was pretty entertaining, it’s like watching a bunch of mini docs about these different 80s bands, made me respect Ian MacKaye and Steve Albini more for sure

I'd say stick with it just for the ludo kino that is Sword of the Lichtor. I kinda got the rhythm of the series shortly into the second one I think
