Here's some filler
My Revised Extended "oh dang summer's half over" Reading List
Reading with my eyes:
Rowling, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Also I should reread the one before that, because man there's a lot I've forgotten
Luebbermann, Easy Orchids. It's not exactly comprehensive, but it's a good start. And it was a bargain book, so hey. Also there are pictures and stuff.
Nichols, Sentimental Rules. This is so incredibly relevant to my dissertation that I was initially worried that I would have nothing left to do. Happily, this is not the case. Nobody seems to want to talk about responsibility. Suckers.
Lakoff, Moral Politics. Unfortunately the library only has one copy of the revised edition, and it's checked out.
Solomon, Introducing Philosophy. Filling in all those tiny lacunae.
Fischer and Ravizza, Perspectives on Moral Responsibility. Got it for Christmas last year. Such a good anthology
Hammett, Nightmare Town, or maybe Crime Stories and Other Writings
Ansolabehere and Iyengar, Going Negative. This was a pretty good book from a terrible class. I haven't looked at it since 1998, and only barely then. Appropriately enough, I seem to have been using a probation notice as a bookmark.
Prinz, Gut Reactions. More emotions, more Hume. I should revisit Damasio while I'm at it.
Oh yeah, Hume, Two Enquiries and a Treatise. Heck, they're short.
Reading with my ears:
Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential. I picked this up after someone mentioned it. There's some pretty good food advice, among the various salacious stories. Whatever; I'm halfway through.
Gladwell, Blink. Pat, of all people, suggested this one, though not especially favorably. I'm curious to see what all the fuss is about.
Wilson, The Moral Sense. I've been trying to figure out how hard it is to be a Humean without being a retributivist legal moralist jerkwad.
Camus, The Stranger. In translation, sadly, but I can come back to it if my French is ever decent
Underhill, Why We Buy. "The Science of Shopping"
Peake, Titus Groan. It's good stuff, but damned if the dude doesn't have some unlistenably byzantine prose. (I'm one to talk)
Aristotle, Nichomachean Ethics. Man, why have I not read this yet
Caesar, the commentaries. Followed by Suetonius, I'm thinking.
