Read Philosophy Books Now

You need to read these books:

• Gender Trouble by Judith Butler
  
• The Ticklish Subject by Slavoj Zizek
  
• Homo Sacer by Giorgio Agamben
  
• A Singular Modernity by Fredric Jameson

Report back to me once you've finished them.

Why, you may ask, do I want you to read them? Mainly because I want you to be as confused as I am.

I feel like there's another cool book I read recently, but I can't remember what it was. I probably just saw it on the shelf at the Co-op and imagined what it would be like if I actually read it some day.
