You you you are a Kindleizer kindleizer KINDLEIZER
My title is in the spirit of a Brittney Spears song that were it not for one of my books on my kindle i'd never know of.
A quick overview of the stuff on the plate, a phrase for those in other countries and backgrounds means that the things i'm daily or regularly using.
1. Hinduism - straight out of the blue a few days ago this became a thing, so i got a good sampling of the core Hindu Scriptures, it'll be awhile till i feel confident enough to speak freely about them, but i'm liking it alot, it gives me much to chew on. Right before this decision i was embracing difficult long novels, which it appeared to me was a good primer for being ready for this.
2. Difficult / high minded / long / modernism and later works - Gaddis, Pynchon, Wallace, Vollmann and Ferrante being the principal characters in this broad spectrum.
3. The philosophy i really like - people like Montaigne, Voltaire, the French Moralists, Gracian, Nietzsche and Cioran.
4. Anais Nin - mostly just the diary for now, which is perhaps longer than the Mahabharata.
5. The Poets - principally from England and Germany.
6. The ancients of Greece and Rome, benchmarks of the Western.
7. The standard classics - from Gengi and Cervantes to Hemingway and Faulkner.
8. The hard to like philosophers - like Kant, Hegel.
9. The LOA sets - for Vonnegut and PKD
10. Thomas Bernhard.
11. Christianity - the essential parts spanning from the early church fathers to CS Lewis.
Ahhhh, now that i've typed this out i feel like this plate is indeed full. I could go into much more in detail, but brevity was the focus here, digestibility at a glance.
