My last stack pic. Since the last thread I finished The Histories and Faust part 1, reading part 2 now, and will probably read Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus (not pictured) next, but if not that I've had my eye and heart also set on getting gomfy with gogol.

I also thought it was a great read. Although, at around the 3/4 mark of the book I found it a little confusing/inconclusive with the behavioral/innate traits such as IQ and personal interests. I also would've liked the last chapter "Post-Genome" to delve into more futuristic concepts.

>>11397177
I'm only 200 pages in with THOWP but so far so good. I've read online that his take on more modern philosophers is erroneous, such as Nietzsche, so I'm ready for that. His book "The Conquest for Happiness" is great.

I only post them to get anonymous pseud-cred from other anonymous users, who will never know if i post again and i will likewise never know anything about them. in this sense, the prestige that i seek from posting my carefully selected "stack"—which i purchased for the sole purpose of posting here—is completely pointless. It is this very pointlessness that motivates me to do it; i have isolated vanity to it's purest activity, to seek fleeting validation which won't live past my first post and is from people whose opinion i cannot assume have any value or lack thereof. I hope, in time, through the repeating of this pointless exercise, i will be able to glimpse upon the form of vanity and ascend to nóēsis in the next cycle of my soul.
