Nobel Prize
Do we really have to have yet another Nobel Prize winner in Literature that nobody has heard of, and I don't want to read, because his work "is characterised by absurdism and grotesque excess"? Is it too much to ask that they consider writers like Wendell Berry, Mark Helprin, Marilynne Robinson, Claire Keegan, Haruki Murakami? It seems like obscurity is an essential quality to win this thing.

of
A Social History of Analytic Philosophy:
"I hated this book. Not because it's a bad - first, I don't know whether it really is, in the grand scheme of things; second, I read plenty of bad books and promptly forget that I did - but because it's SO close to being extremely good and seemingly, "

A Farewell to Gabo and Mercedes: A Son’s Memoir of Gabriel García Márquez and Mercedes Barcha:

| An impressive even if little-known book. Having read about the solitary lives of monks, I now read a memoir by a wartime prisoner in solitary confinement in WW2. Burney was not educated past 16 years old, but was a very smart, thoughtful person. He w ...more | |
