This week I am re-reading Othello by William Shakespeare. Everytime I read Shakespeare I am astounded by his way with words. This is one of the best tragedies written in this fashion I have ever read; I think some of the earlier work of Euripedes is better.

Worlds of Pain by Lillian Breslow Rubin, it’s non-fiction about the lives of working class white people in the early 70s. It’s interesting, and the author made some interesting conclusions, one of which was about men and sex/sexuality I want to discuss when I get some time.

Atonement by Ian McEwan, about this willful spoiled girl who causes tragedy because she misunderstands something she witnessed between her older sister and the child of the household maid. It’s so boring!! technically it’s well-written but it has no flavor, and I don’t like any of the characters at all. I may ditch this book, I dunno.

and the Simpsons & Philosophy: the D’oh! of Homer edited by William Irwin, Mark T. Conard, and Aeon J. Skoble. It’s hilarious and I highly reccomend it to any Simpsons fan with a taste for philosophy. They treat the series in a serious, academic fashion by deconstructing the characters’ actions, motivations, and meaning within the series and within the culture.
