Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Repair, for my "Great Books" class. Just finished Fathers and Sons by Turgenev and Kafka's Metamorphosis. It's a rather strange class.

Isn't that good?... in the beginning and the end, that is. the middle just makes me want to tear my hair out. Anyway, I quoted several times in my school essays.</p>

Well, let me know what you think of it. I know it in and out by now, so I am naturally curious. I am a bit surprised (in a good way) that it's in your "Great Books" class along with Turgenev and Kafka. What else is on the syllabus?</p>

In the evenings before I go to sleep I started readin A History of the Modern World. I just can't concentrate on my thesis all the time - need a break.

Went to the bookstore today and got some books for a philisophu/sociology/semiology refresh (Barthes, Bourdieu, Debord) + bought the two latest volumes (french translation, already read the whole series)of Hana Yori Dango : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boys_Over_Flowers</P>
In fact I don't really like any of the books I bought, I just want the person in charge of market analysis for the library chain to get a depression trying to explain my buying habits. [:P]</P>

hahah, I always wonder what the booksellers think of my purchases. A couple days ago I came out with the Mr. Palomar by Calvino, The Lunatic at Large by Clouston and Absurdistan by Shteyngart.
