The Nook is a recent purchase. I busted the screen on my old original style Nook. I like using it, but I'm still reading physical editions as well.

She's a goddess, no shitty 4chan troll is allowed to use her name in vain.

Stop using it.

>Man's Search For Meaning - Frankl
I also got this recently. Tell me your impressions, if any.

I'll get to it, eventually. I don't really like philosophical works, to be honest, and usually save them for last. I'll probably dig into that before Foucault, who is a huge bore to me.

>>2487167
buying something that bores you, why

>>2487179
When Foucault eventually gets to the point, it's really interesting. I understand that his method requires an excessive laying of foundations, so I go along with it to get a firm grasp of his conclusions. But it's boring as shit until then.
The Order of Things is a perceptive look at the way scientific thought when applied to the human becomes a practice of assumptions rather than questions; it's a dull and trudging read.

>tripfag: Ellen

Ah, a fellow admirer. I was ecstatic to find this in the attic recently.

I've been on my monthly raid of the local goodwills this week.

picked up:
Hayduke Lives - Edward Abbey
Children of Dune - Herbert
A thousand splendid suns - hosseini
V. - Pynchon
Our Demon Haunted World - Sagan
Confederacy of Dunces - Toole
and the Bhagavad Gita

roughly 8 bucks for all of 'em but I really had to wade through the refuse

That might be the best cover for Confederacy of Dunces I've ever seen.
