(9:25 PM) | Adam Kotsko:
Books Outstanding
I am "in the middle of" the following books:- Zur Genealogie der Moral by Nietzsche
- L'Ontologie politique de Martin Heidegger by Pierre Bourdieu
- On First Principles by Origen
- Jean-Luc Nancy and the
Attack of the Thesaurus Monster Future of Philosophy by B. C. Hutchens
- Critique of Cynical Reason by Peter Sloterdijk
That feels like a lot. Some are obviously falling between the cracks. Hutchens, for instance, has been suspended until the beginning of the semester, at which point I will be more in the mood to read poorly written books that actually cause me to unlearn the English language. Sloterdijk has been my designated bedtime/traintime reading for a while, but that role has been indefinitely suspended in favor of using that time to get as much of Origen done as possible. The progress on Nietzsche is still excruciatingly slow. Origen is going fastest out of all of them at this moment, followed by the Bourdieu, which counts as "practicing French."
Truth be told, I am also "in the middle of" the following (parenthetical figures indicate how long I've "been reading them"):- Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides (14 months)
- Ulysses by James Joyce (60 months)
- Les mots by Jean-Paul Sartre (4 months)
- Being Singular Plural by Jean-Luc Nancy (3 months)
- Theology of Hope by Jurgen Moltmann (18 months)
- Being as Communion by John Zizioulas (32 months)
- Religion: Speeches to its cultured despisers by Schleiermacher (4 months)
- Independence Day by Richard Ford (26 months)
Plus, I mean -- I really do intend to read all those New Yorkers.
