Well I recently re-read Pat on the Mat. it was ok, the dynamic of Pat, the proverbial mat, and the antagonistic relationship with the Cat ultimately culminated into a worthwhile read, even if it wasn't as philosophically heavy and insightful as the previous, "Pat and the Hat."

I liked Javert.
Easily my fav character from les mis.
His description and actions really embodied a lot of persons i've met.

When Marlowe is riding down through the Congo with a dying Mr. Kurtz at his side and he is considering what led Kurtz to his bout of madness and imagines that Kurtz was all hallowed out to begin with, that the jungle had merely to whisper to him to nudge him over the threshold into all-consuming insanity.

Just imagine if Caesar had made it to the Americas!

I am reading Macaulay's History of England and loving it. He is a beautiful writer. Many expectations I had going in were subverted, for instance he is not triumphalist about British rule over Irish and Scots, and he is not really "whiggish" at all.

I recently reread Euthyphro, and before it stood out as me as an interesting question on whether something was pious because God liked it or if God liked it because it was pious, and now with an understanding of God as the fount of goodness/good itself, it becomes a more interesting question, where the answer seems to be "yes" rather than one or the other.
