This is a nice edition I picked up

"Beginners" is proper
"Their" was an awful mistake. Must have come from early draft. Also watching tv so I missed it.

HA! The guy Voltaire skewers in Candide?

I'm going to start with Candide... sometime in late 2012 I guess

Oh. Well, I didn't buy that one.

I do have The Candide though. ..Also I think my brain is frying in this heat.

Recent purchases:
Voltaire's Candide
The Portable Hannah Arendt (Would have preferred to find On Revolutions, but later)

A month ago, yet to read:
Kafka's The Castle
Garibaldi, Inventing a Hero, by Lucy Riall
The Age of Reason, by Thomas Paine
The Gnostic Gospels, by Elaine Pagels

Eyeing the discussion at the start of the thread, I too can't seem to get away from looking into the spiritual subjects. The Gnostic book I read some of years ago, and it helped me out of my Christianity. More recently I found Paine, and his deism still interested me enough to buy.
I'm an atheist, but own no Dawkins or the OPs Hitchens book, but maybe someday.

My store boldly claims "40% OFF"

...On greeting cards.
Fiction is 10% off.


Well so are magazines, but still...

I got this months Hi-Fructose at $4, this snazzy Candide edition for $11.70, and The Portable Hannah Arendt for $14 at 30% off $20
