Yes, it involves a discussion of a lot of mainstream philosophy. Delves deep into a lot of mythology and demonstrates their hidden meanings. He stays pretty objective despite revealing his beliefs somewhat.

Exodus (KJV) and Confessions by Augustine at the same time, though I've been slacking lately (had a drinking bender that lasted a few months, and I'm working 3 jobs). Probably going to read The Recognitions after those two, which I'm excited about. Just bought it today at HPB.

Pope's Iliad, Borges, The Spook Book, some historical thing, rereading The Prince.

Thoroughly researched, but unfortunately reads like a 500 page information dump for the most part.

i'm also working through a selection of Ginsberg's poetry, and enjoying it so far. He might not be as technically focussed as the other great poets, but he writes with passion and honesty. It annoys me that most of /lit/ seems to dismiss him because of the former.

Yes, I'm a newfag, but I really am enjoying it. It took about 50 pages to get used to the style. About to finish "Aeolus".

Not sure what I'll read after this, probably a couple shorter works.
