It’s On Interpretation by Aristotle. I’m doing okay with it, I just like to take my time and fully absorb it and everything.

The Almagest? It’s very good. Learned how to make a sphere for the fixed stars out of wood. I think mostly the hard part is over for the Almagest. For a month or two I struggled with some of it. Books II - VI are all frustratingly challenging. VII and VIII were a breeze, comparatively. I’ll learn some things in the middle of the book I feel he should have told us somewhere else though, it’s a little haphazard. Like I just learned that the angle between the meridian and the great circle trough the Earths poles is 23 and 51/60ths degrees. But I feel he should have said that earlier. Other things, like terms, are strewn throughout without being defined first. Boy it’s a trip.

But yeah it’s pretty easy right now, comfy easy. Read it all on a snowy day too, a snowy day that caused a lot of people on the east coast some trouble.

Oh and Space X launched their rocket today. That was cool
