An Eisenhower Bio (I have a side-bitch named The Concept of the Political though)
>book i'll read next
Upanishads, there are a ton of books I'm interested in, and I have quite a few I haven't read, but it takes awhile to get through that stack. This Eisenhower bio is 1500+ pages, so it's probably going to be awhile. I've noticed that the subject I read tends to go in fads. I've been putting off the Upanishads for some reason, so I'd like to get that off my plate. After that I want to really hit the biographies hard. I'm planning to use Kissinger to transition from biographies to International Relations, but I'm also getting that tick to get back into philosophy. I think it's because Schmitt reminded me that I'm a wee baby with Hegel. Those "A very short introduction to" books are looking pretty appealing, so is "Reading Hegel." Anyone care to give their thoughts on these books?

Sorry for the blog post. I never interact with anyone, so things worthy of a one sentence reply turn into multiple paragraphs of catharsis. I wonder if I should keep a diary, would that help? I should do it on the computer though. I hate writing by hand. With the computer you can just jet down thousands of words in ranting in a matter of minutes.

I forgot to mention that I was planning on going from international relations to military stuff with things like Unrestricted Warfare as a transitory text. I like the idea of reading in a sort of string where every book you read is related to the one you read last. I'm not sure how I'll transition military strategy into philosophy though. Maybe I could just read some political books.

>>12894511
Do you still see beauty? Does music take you on an adventure? Can you feel a person's entire personality just by gazing into their eyes? There is nothing more fulfilling in this world than joy of the soul. All else is worthless in comparison. What better text could there be than religious texts? They are dreams manifest!
