It's been a whiiile (like the Staind song!LOL)

So it has been a very long time since I've updated. I have been very busy with school and have not had much time to read for pleasure. I'll quickly go through what I've read throughout the semester...
- Most of David Hume's "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding"
- Selections from Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason", John Locke's "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding" and Thomas Reid's "Inquiry and Essays".
- A shit ton of the Old and New Testaments
- "L'homme Qui Plantait des Arbres" by Jean Giono (one of my favorites from the semester, probably because it was in French)
- "The Social Contract and the Discourses" - Jean-Jacques Roussea
- "Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography" by John Dominic Crossan
- "Second Treatise of Government" by John Locke
- "On Liberty" - John Stuart Mill
and probably some more that I missed. I got through a lot of Infinite Jest and then fell behind, so I'm not finished yet. I'll probably read it a few times when the semester is over because it is AMAZING. The man is brilliant. Also, unfortunately, still have not completed A Thousand Years of Solitude because I had to put pleasure reading on hiatus. After I complete those two books, up next is Chomsky on Anarchism. So syked, because he is also a genius.

Books 7 & 8

Wow, I am really slow at reading right now, hopefully with less than 3 wks of classes left I will soon be able to read more!
Just finished The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved by Sandor Katz, which talked about a lot of underground food movements and ways for normal people to get food security and acquire food that is not genetically modified or produced by corporations etc etc etc. Had some interesting recipes at the end of every chapter, including canabutter and uhh some sort of road kill recipe I do believe. Very very good and interesting read, even if I was already aware of most of the main content thanks to environmental studies classes in college.

Today I started The Island by Aldous Huxley. Liked Brave New World enough so why not? It's a bit weird and since i'm only 13pgs in, I can't say much except it has a Lord of the Flies-feel. we'll see where this goes.
Currently it is going on week 14 and I am only on my 8th book. a lot of catching up to do!
