Any time I see these threads, I see little to zero interest in the titles (Why I rarely answer in them) but now that you asked, and so rudely, I can let the other shoe drop.

I am reading an anthology of anarchism by Guérin, The King Must Die by Renault, Ghosts of Freedom by Charles King. And a couple others I last read from back in December, so skipping.
Last finished books include a Moomin book, a collection of short stories from Jansson, collected essays of Emma Goldman, and The Ego and Its Own from you know who.

Closing in on the end and I've reached his final discussion on the possibility of an uncaused cause.

I'm going through [western] philosophy chronologically so naturally after finishing up with Plato Aristotle was next on the list. I'm reading Physics because it seemed like the most obvious work to proceed to after the Organon, which I spent the past year pouring over. Physics in particular is very enjoyable.

Wow no joke I'm doing exactly the same thing, but am one step behind. Spent a long time with Plato + secondary work on him, peeked into Xenophon's Socratic works, and have been working on the organon for about a month so far. Have read through posterior analytics so far, but am probably going to spend the next 2 weeks reading some commentaries on prior/posterior to get a better grasp before finishing the organon and moving on to physics.

Have you been reading commentaries? Which edition are you using? How much time did you spend devoted to the organon over the past year? That seems like way more time than I want to spend on it, although it's looking like I'll spend 2-2.5 months on it anyway.

I've been reading the standard two volume Barnes collection of his Complete Works without commentary/secondary sources. I interspersed my readings of the Organon with unrelated books so I'd typically spend a few days on the shorter works like Categories and De Interpetatione and up to a month on the lengthier works like the Analytics and Topics while reading other things in-between them. Started it in May so if you keep at it without breaks or unrelated readings you can probably finish up in about a third of that time frame

Musashi

Amazing. Getting to the latter parts now and Musashi's development as a samurai is so well written. The way the author writes it so that Musashi "conceives" basic eastern philosophy concepts out of his life makes the book a whole another level of interesting. Not only does it have good plot and good characters, it's also a good way of making a first approach to Japanese culture and history. I feel like high fantasy should be more like this and less like asoiaf, but I guess lord of the rings had too big an impact for books like these to be read as an "epic" anymore.

I haven't read any King except for It and Insomnia, the latter of which I've reread a couple times and really enjoy. 11/22/63 is giving me some serious Insomnia vibes.

-Lee and Marina vs Helen and Ed (with a baby on each side to boot!)
-Sadie knowing George is up to some foreboding future task seems akin to Lois figuring Ralph is up to something near the end of the novel

Am I reading too much into this or does King get repetitive in his works?

I'm on chapter 21/31 and some parts have really dragged on, but I never leave a book unfinished so I'm plowing through it. I just know there's going to be a twist or something fun coming up... Please don't tell me there isn't!

Narcissus and Goldmund by Hermann Hesse. There are roughly 100 pages left and so far I enjoyed the book. It went against my expectations though, since I thought it would compare two thouroughly contrasting lifestyles: the lust driven vagabond against the dutiful ascetic, but it for the most part it focuses on the former so far, unfortunately not really the latter.

>>9258781
>Going to start off with >Dostoevsky, some easy one
Just read his works chronically, so you can't do anything wrong. I'd say all his grand works are on par, except Demons. Demons is a tough read, but even though it is the third grand novel he released, I'd still go chronically.

I've read IT from Stephen King, and it took me eight months to get through it. So you're right in that regard to see repetition in his writing. King is everything but talented in literature, he even acknowledges that his books are equal to serving fast food. Looking at bestsellers today equals in most cases in vonluntary brain damage. If you want a stimulating read then go for the more complex books. If you don't feel to dive immediately into a tough read, then start small. Here my recommendation for you.

Sorry for the late reply, Anon - I though the thread died in a matter of hours after I posted, but it's still going.

Thank you for your insight. It is the first book of Hesse I'm reading and I had a feeling that there wouldn't be stylistic variations in Hesse's works - and your comment confirms it. I'm almost through with it, and so far it is, indeed, a pretty good read. No ragrets.
