philosophy generally, specially plato and aristotle at the moment. reading the last things to prepare myself for it.

also very excited for pynchon (V is on the way, but its going to take 1~2 months to arrive), nabokov, dfw and tolstoy, thats enough for now

it's boring if you ask me, but then again I don't like tolstoy

it's weird how infrequently you hear his name mentioned at the University of Minnesota, even among literary types, despite being a highly respected poet wordwide.

I've read most of the postmodernist tome memes, but I haven't gotten to The Tunnel yet. Another I'm excited to get to is Proust, who's next on the list.

Thomas Aquinas

I still wanna read more early church thinkers and at least one Aristotle text
