Recipe 1 of 7 (continually updated)
Everything which can't be split apart are components of a grand mixture of certain identifiable clusters, the largest being what is conceived as reality.
For me there are 2 main components of the Intentional Whole, The Recipe 1 of 7. Each grand Recipe shall be completely made up of 366 singular things, which could of course be split, but are not to be split as a rule, and if split will only be in the form of brief zoom ins of anything deemed desirable for such a zoom in.
The Recipe 1 of 7 as my featured post will slowly become what it was meant to be since the meeting of the microcosmic elements ma and pa had that ended up in BookRMe, but these will only feature the book portion, the rest are a selection of YouTube content creators that will be the last remnant counted. They range from pundits to thematically concerned folk in the realm of books and pop culture.
The methodology is newly minted in my head, and so I must vocalize it freely for any dark days ahead, so I remember more quickly, it is to go through a quasi comprehensive daily list 3 times, and for whichever source is not progressing by 9 sessions per week shall disappear from The Recipe 1 of 7 List.
Each Recipe will have a dilemma, and the one for this one is that not all I wish to read are on a small reading device. By the time of the 2nd recipe this issue will be solved.
Listing them as they are both chronologically and thematically, with some lacuna to be filled in when I am up to being more studious:
George Grote -- History of Greece
Diogenes Laertius' Lives of Eminent Philosophers
A Presocratics Reader -- only on Scribe and computer.
Copleston's volume 1 of History of Philosophy
AA Long's Epictetus book
3 Taoist books shall be there as well, and some Buddhist stuff, I know not how to effortlessly spell many of these books and authors, so that is why making an exhaustive list requires a little more effort for me.
The Iliad of Homer translated by Robert Fagles
Plato -- the 2 anthologies, and Robin Waterfield's biography on him.
Aristotle -- the anthology, plus select titles in The New Hackett Aristotle ie: The Nicomachean and Eudimean Ethics, Metaphysics etc.
Seneca -- Letters on Ethics
Epictetus -- The Discourses
Marcus Aurelius -- Meditations with copious footnotes, well more than a standard edition would have. These brief sections with the Stoics are a formula time-wise that will be the case with the following:
Montaigne -- 2 places with his Essays, in audiobooks and with reading with eyes.
Francis Bacon's Essays
David Hume's Essays also his Letters and maybe also one of his best known treatises An Enquiry into Human Understanding
Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan -- the Oxford World's Classics edition with nice footnotes, ahhhh
La Rochefoucauld, Chamfort, La Bruyere, Fontenelle and Vauvenargues must also be there, as does Pascal, Lampert's BGE book cites his Provincial Letters as being Proto-Nietzschean, so I have renewed interest in that, which is included in my physical copy of Pensees.
Max Stirner's The Ego and It's Own which is also there in audiobooks.
Nietzsche's best work in the form of aphorisms, and manageable essay sections like in Geneology of Morals, this is a thinker I need to spend more time with to be reminded why he was such a lightening bolt for me in the mid 90s. Everything can be done piecemeal, with pondering in-between sections to perhaps reply to posts here, and will be great for my mind which is so rusty most of it's functionality is limited big time. Beyond Good and Evil, The Gay Science, and Twilight of the Idols are the current big three. Also Laurence Lampert's book on BGE, and Julian Young's biography.
Albert Camus -- I included this tremendous author and thinker into the mix yesterday, I am using a majority of his best stuff all together in the mix, there's also other things I added which will be there for when i've crossed a few finish lines.
Simone de Beuvoir's book which was posted about.
Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet which is only being gone through in it's audiobook form this time.
Cioran -- and for him i'm just going through a 7 volume anthology of his works, I said the other day I preferred to read him over watching him talk, but I want to stress here how amazing it is to see and hear him. I find him a little too elitist for how I believe a good human being should be, but it's after all his writings which impress me so much, he was a pessimist who saw the world as I would bet many more would agree how he saw things as things now are ever so much more opening our minds to unsavory thoughts, well his books was his putting all this jumble of raw data into words, to express how an impossible situation is, and to do so for him was a form of therapy, which he says in a 90 interview, an interview in the 70s though has him saying it's more than just therapy. Anyways the whole dilemma of modern times can be seen rather in Camus' lens, which I am very glad to be feasting on as well, and maybe I'd after some time put Camus above Cioran.
Emily Dickinson's poetry -- her verse is like nature distilled, the essence of which is like finding the fountain of youth.
Rainer Maria Rilke's poetry, letters and one novel
Peter Wessel Zapffe's On the Tragic.
C.G. Jung -- collected work, skipping the first few works to where he begins to do what he's most known for, the archetype stuff, ooooh yeah!!
Boswell's Life of Johnson in the superlative Penguin edition, sah-weeet, as well as Johnson's Selected Essays.
Rumi - The Masnavi in 4 volumes, the whole way I'm reading I see as a whirling dervish kind of thing. As will be some of the music listened to. Rumi is such a great source for depth and wondrous expression of beautiful sentiments.
And then the fun stuff with
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
Isaac Asimov -- this is pretty neat, a mathematician can tell the future, and says the Empire will fall.
Frank Herbert's Dune series, this is nice on weed.
Ray Bradbury -- a long chronological volume of his short stories, his storytelling has a cozy feel to it, so well crafted.
The Wheel of Time -- this and the next will be a long endurance test made possible by just 3 little visits per reading day it's featured.
The Malazan Book of the Fallen -- yep, what I just said.
Thomas Ligotti -- with a mostly sci-fi/fantasy focus a little horror is really appreciated.
Mary Daly and Andrea Dworkin can only be indulged in on the big clunky Scribe, and/or from the Chromebook itself, which will be alright when in the living room, these are my fave feminists, Mary played around with the dictionary, and Andrea got so super passionate about things, she partnered up with someone else btw who's name I forget. it was legal stuff too, to use in courts. Immediately below will be the current volumes of each.
Mary Daly
Beyond God the Father ... the follow up to this is on the Kobo
Andrea Dworkin
Woman Hating -- was able to put this on my Kobo
Then some classics
Shakespeare's King Lear in the Folgers Shakespeare edition.
Charles Dickens -- to read Katie's top 3 Dombey and Son, Little Dorrit, and Our Mutual Friend
Jane Austen -- to listen to Alison Larkin narrate the novels and to be reading her biggest Pride and Prejudice
Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace and Anna Karenina with the eyes in the Penguin editions, with questionable footnote functionality.
Fyodor Dostoevsky's Demons, one of his great novels that I don't see being talked about whenever this great author's works are mentioned.
Anthony Trollope -- with the eyes, his first series The Chronicles of Barsetshire, or something like that, he is to be compared with Dickens, with a view to seeing them as a match, like the 19th century heavyweight author championship.
Clarice Lispector is a modern classic that stands level with the others grouped here, that's just how great she is!! Doing a re-read of The Passion of G.H. first off.
For Christianity, I shall be perusing whatever, at my own discretion, and will eventually have prepared a list of them in the subsequent updates of this list, which will by then be included some thoughts I deem accurate to how I think of them, as for now I am undecided.
The Set Apart Recipe List
The set apart ones is the definition of a term that the early Christians took upon themselves, amongst others from the time period. And this list adopts the wording there as it's thematic cohesion is borne then, at least it's official up to date definition published abroad, oh the ink used in it's favor, and some of it is good, and serves a to the point purpose, in some of it's personal ethic aspirations to single out one definite. But the weight of matter here is to do with a psychology that associates it with family, and is a way to honor their memory. The Christian Religion was and in the case of my dad a light that guides their paths. By making this literature a part of the whole mix, I'd be better equipped on how to give my dad encouragement, for his mindset these days is that God will work a miracle and bring him home, and he also says phrases like "I will not be satisfied until this happens", so my little assignment is to be able to tell him that God might be meaning him to be where he is, in a warmly devotional style.
1. Isaac Ambrose's Looking Unto Jesus is a major, but little talked of Puritan gem, which helps the reader be a more authentic believer. The chapters are short, a chapter a day is how i'll tackle it, which is a fairly long work. This is how I shall be treating all chapters when they're not too long.
2. Calvin's Institutes, all the chapters have little sections, so perhaps a few sections a day, or whenever it's included in the daily readings, for obviously I can't fit all in each day.
3. The Westminster Confession and it's 2 Catechisms, as a primer on Reformed theology, along with The Three Forms of Unity -- The Belgic Confession, The Heidelberg Catechism and The Synod of Dort, there's further volumes on the latter 2 that may be included.
4. The Philokalia in 5 volumes plus other monastic writings for the Orthodox heritage, an enriching body of work is there, but a lot is hard to spell.
5. The Visions of Mary -- I think that's what this is called, it's a huge multi-volumed work that will be my main Catholic work, however I do think a regular dose of Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross might be inevitable, but then the floodgates would burst with more mystics that some are hard to spell properly.
8. Beeke -- his major stuff being the current standards for Reformed theology, with some Sproul, Sproul is the guy my dad cannot stop talking about.
Audiobooks proper shall feature Will and Ariel Durant's The Story of Civilization primarily, along with other things that when I next listen to them will be something I do here with my fingers while listening.
This is a first draft, each day will be more and more clear, and then the recipe will be documented, and when I see that final recipe, further recipes that will be so much better can then be formulated.
