Sticky Stuff (no pun intended) / Re: 2010 Book Thread
« on: November 23, 2010, 02:56:53 PM »
Hellp just discovered this thread. Love to see people still reading...A LOT of books! The type of books I read (philosophy and existential) don't allow me to read 50 or more...data overload  :-o  

Last year (2009) I read 4 books by Nietzsche
1) Nietzsche Contra Wagner
2) The Anti-Christ
3) War and Peace by Dostoyevsky of the Idols
4) Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Also, by 9 by Dostoevsky
1) The Gambler                     6) The Dream of A Ridiculous Man
2) The Idiot                          7) The Double
3) The Eternal Husband           8) A Disgraceful Affair
4) White Nights                       9) A Gentle Creature
5) Notes From the Underground

2010 (taken it a little easy to download 2009 lol) but so far have read:
1. Gone To Texas (Forrest Carter)
2. Vengeance Trail of Josey Wells (Forrest Carter)
3. Crime and Punishment (Dostoevsky)
4. Spiritual Practices of the Ninja (Ross Heaven)
5. Letters to A Young Poet (Rainer Maria Rilke)
6. A number of comics (Batman, Iron Man, Thor)
7. Shantaram (Gregory David Roberts) ...in the early stages/probably will be my last one for 2010 (it's 936 pages)

@Pbsaurus: thanks for the welcome.  The Bay Area has some cool people. I think there is great deal more of social consciousness and awareness there.

@xolink: a big hello back atcha!  Hope your day is going well and that you enjoy the weekend :)

@ Reimero: got it and thanks for the tip :)

@ Probie:  understand what you're saying but don't care to deal with agencies.  I'm kind of old school and like to meet people organically. If I don't find someone here to assist with the project stuff then at least I'll still meet some cool peeps. Thanks!

Hello All:

Though I'm more of a "philosophical geek" I think that technology and philosophy have so much in common. Erased the "progammer request" part of my original message. (wrong board)

Thanks!
