What I’m reading
Public library 23.10
Theoi Greek Mythology library. A great resource, everything you will need.
Host by David Foster Wallace. This essay, though from 2005, is certainly new to me. It has a different tone to his better known essays – does this mean it is not as good? DFW’s non-fic strengths are (were) his wit and his keen observation of humans, both of which are, for the most part, absent in this piece. Still very informative.
Squashed Philosophers. The modern man is time-poor. He doesn’t have time to read Epicurus’s Sovran Maxims from cover to cover. He reads the squashed version.
Fugitive rat teaches lesson about invasive species control. One of my favourite silly human/smart animal stories. Lots of fun.
