"Currently reading a fictional book called spiders in the bath about gangs, drugs and the IRA in Liverpool during the 80s. Really good Oohhh sounds right up my street, will give that a read.. Thanks " I think the author is called Paul breen or something. It's a bit of a cult book so can be difficult to get hold off. If you have no luck let me know and I could post my one to you when I've finished | |||

"The Penelopiad." You might want to give Ovid's Heroides a go. For me: my current commuting book is Suasan Sontag "Against Interpretation". A collection of essays on art and literature criticism. At home it's David Bently Hart's translation of the New Testament. I've never read the whole thing before, and the idea of a 'pitilessly literal' translation was intriguing. I also have Ptolemy's Almagest making very slow progress in the background. And even slower progress on Gibbon's Decline and Fall. I don't know why I do these things. | |||

"Milton’s Paradise Lost." I loved that! The God bits can drag a bit - omniscience and omnipotence makes for an extremely dull character. But the rest is fantastic. There's a reason the classics are classics. | |||

"Milton’s Paradise Lost. I haven’t read it since A Level English Lit and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.

I really need to read it soon. | |||

"Critique to pure reason by Emmanual Kant. ( any philosophy boffs on that could help me understand this work more ). Baffling " I read that a few years ago. And when I say "read", I looked at all of the words. Understanding it is another matter entirely. There's a book on Kant in the Very Short Introductions series. If I had any sense at all I would have read that one first. It's been some time, so even the bits that I did understand are largely forgotten. It seemed to me that he was building far too much on what are, to a 20th century reader, very weak foundations. | |||

"Hi thanks. I've only just started and obviously finding it hard going. I think I'll find the one you said and start with that. Thanks for the heads up " Oh, and if you haven't read Hume yet, that would be good too. Essay concerning human reasoning, or something like that. The critique is largely Kant saying "nah, David, you're wrong". I agree far more with Hume, which is part of what made Kant so hard. | |||
