Only a couple more precious days of vacation before I must face up to Chicago and reality. I’m trying to get some non-school related books finished before I go back. I’m nearing the end of The Story of Philosophy by Will Durant–I bogged down after dragging through Schopenhauer last September–a combination of his depressing worldview and the beginning of classes made me stop. I’m now in Nietzsche, which is also rather depressing but much more outlandish, which makes for a more entertaining read. Oddly enough, a few months ago I was searching for some good marriage-related quotes to use in the wedding, and the best ones I could find come from him. Weird. I finished up the Higgins Clarks’ He Sees You When You’re Sleeping. The title sounds much more sinister than the actual story, but maybe I was just reading too much into it. I have a another philosophy one and another mystery after this, but doubt I’ll get them all done before classes start. During classes I usually only read children’s books (I mean books intended for children, I don’t actually steal children’s books), since I don’t feel like reading anything too challenging in addition to the school stuff. My favorite children’s series is the Trixie Belden books, which tend to be unfairly overshadowed by Nancy Drew.
We had a good Christmas. Church was on Christmas Eve, and on Christmas Day we opened gifts, ate a lot, and lounged around. Yesterday we toured the new community blood bank facility, which my mother’s cousin directs, and I donated blood for the first time in a while. Today we met my grandmother and uncle for lunch and I got to show off the engagement photos again. Heh, heh.
This entry’s title is for the benefit of my friend Jen, who is getting married four weeks after us, in case she is watching. Jen, I forgot to tell you about how Bridezilla suddenly showed up when I was in the paper shop the other day. That’ll be a fun story for another time.
Two of my favorite class in college were a philosophy class I took at UT Dallas and a kiddy lit course at Calvin. The former was taught by a guy who did his graduate work in German modern and post-modern philosophers; the validity he gave to Nietzsche (a lunatic who died in a funny farm) was somewhat amusing, since I read most of Nietzche’s stuff with a smirk.
The latter yielded one of my favorite books ever. Holes by Louis Sachar, one of the assigned reading books, is absolutely phenomenal. I highly recommend it.
Wow, what a great reading list. Can you two recommend which of Nietzsche’s works is the best to read if one wanted to get the overall gist of his philosophy/worldview? The only stuff of his I’ve read was for a classical Greek language class–apparently he has some interesting ideas about the ancient Greeks.
I definitely agree that Trixie is unfairly sidelined by Nancy Drew. Michele, maybe you should write a fan fiction story in which Trixie and Nancy compete to solve a mystery, and Trixie solves it first and Nancy just ends up crying or something.
Oh, and Bridezilla won’t be making any appearances after the wedding… right? 🙂
Louis Sachar in general is a great author. I first read his Sideways Stories from Wayside School, and enjoyed it. Then I got There’s a Boy in the Girls’ Bathroom and The Boy Who Lost His Face. Both are great. Holes is a great one, too.
Other good kids authors: Ellen Raskin (The Westing Game, The Mysterious Disappearance of Leon (I Mean Noel), Robert Newton Peck (far too many to list), John D. Fitzgerald (Great Brain series), John Bellairs, and of course Roald Dahl.
It’s pretty amazing how great an influence Nietzsche has had, his ideas make for interesting reading but don’t seem to have a very strong relationship with reality. According to Durant his best book is Thus Spake Zarathustra, it sounds pretty wacky and I think I’ll put it on the list to read some time.
It’s interesting to see which people are chosen in these survey books–I’m surprised that Karl Marx is hardly mentioned. Maybe that is because the book was written in the 50s, probably Marxism didn’t have such a huge impact on American and European scholarship and society until later, or maybe Durant just didn’t consider him a philosopher.
Thanks for the kid book recommendations. I don’t think I’ve read anything by Louis Sachar, but will look him up. Several on Joel’s list are favorites of mine also. My favorite author is Jane Gardam, she writes for both children and adults. I like her earlier childrens’ books best, my favorites are A Long Way From Verona and A Few Fair Days.
Nancy would have no chance against Trixie. She can’t solve a mystery without getting kidnapped first, while Trixie usually solves it first and gets kidnapped later.
