MONday, a day to let books monitor your innermost being and nothingness
Good day y'all, the last chunk of yesterday was a bit of a splurge, i couldn't wait for some things, and all in all it's no biggie.
William T Vollmann was the focus here
You Bright and Risen Angels
Rising Up and Rising Down - a condensed single volume of a 7 volume work
Carbon Ideologies - described as the Infinite Jest of Climate Change
Europe Central
Poor People - this is what i'm beginning to read care of the astounding immediacy of kindle whispernet technology, didja know that Vollmann doesn't use the internet? Which will make his knowledgeability that much more amazing
and Fathers and Crows, his most acclaimed entry in the Seven Dreams series
These 2 were nagging me, ergo i needed to get them and not be waiting like a goddamned chump
William Gaddis' J R
William Gass' The Tunnel
hey all these guys are Williams!!!
Then before this outpouring for what Leaf By Leaf terms Maximalist works, stuff filed by me for my Nietzschean studies, these are guys who made some sort of impact on the prophet of the ubermensch in some way
Rousseau
Epicurus
Pyrrho
Diogenes
Heraclitus
& Baltasar Gracian - not a direct influence as far as i know but writing in the aphoristic style which is important.
HOLY SHEEEEEEEET, lots to read, i had to tell ya all about it though, it's like posting about it makes it more real. :)
