Dec. 17th, 2001 08:44 pmI've downloaded the whole "Achieving goodness in a complex world " portion of the social criticism website into my palmtop, for reading in bed.
Tonight's selections will include Thucydides - Pericles' funeral oration from The Peloponnesian War, then Albert Camus - Writing in an age of insanity: for truth, liberty and optimism (Nobel lecture)/// and if I swallow that whole, I'll move on to start on Fyodor Dostoyevsky - Crime and Punishment (Which will surely take me more than one night. :) ) A classic I never got around to in high school.... it seemed ot be offered for reading in all the classes but mine. Long overdue read.
