Anyhow, I'm reading Jean Paul Sartre's Sketch for a theory of the Emotions.[/b]

Hmm, I just finished reading some Nietzsche and was interested in getting into Existentialism, what do you think of Satre? Easy to read?
[/b][/quote]
Fairly easy, I've found myself repeating a few paragraphs here and there though to really understand the meaning. But I think that adds to the challenge of the book!
Aza, I recon you'd be fine with Sartre, get in to him!

I'm currently reading Hell's Angels by Hunter S Thompson. Written in the sixties after rollin' with the angels for a year.
Allow me to quote the great man (do read it, some things never change)[/b]

Good book. I think Fear and loathing on the campain trail was his hardest read.

Im a huge fantasy nut so am reading Belgarath the Sorcerer (again), but have just had You Wouldnt be Dead for Quids by Robert Barrett dropped on my desk so I will give it a go.[/b]

Read everything both of these authors have produced. Takes about a day to read a Les Norton novel.
David Eddings wrote two books that were non fiction. One is called "High Hunt". The other one, a by far better read, is called "The losers. I have quoted stuff on here from that book.

High hunt is ok, but I absolutely love the losers.
He also wrote a supernatural thriller called Regina's Song, which I wasn't a fan of.
I'm not a fan of his recent stuff. Redemption of Athalus was ok, the same old characters recycled. But the latest series bores me to death. Bring back Sparhawk I say!

I didn't know about Regina's song. Althalus was a yawn book. Sparhawk was great.

You can borrow it, just let me know when you want to pick it up. We literally have a shelf dedicated to only Eddings, pretty much have everything, and a few duplicates.

Eddings is awesome. The Sparhawk series has got to be one of the best ive read. I didnt know that he was working on a new series though.
If you like Eddings, you will more than likely enjoy Raymond E Feist. Magician is probably the most read book in my collection. |

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - in Ancient Greek.
One of my kids gave it to me for Christmas. I never managed to fit in reading the Harry Potter books and as I happen to teach Ancient Greek, I guess the conclusion was that if I had it in Greek I might get around to reading it. Apparently a valid conclusion.
