Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics, for school.
Ironically, I'm reading that for school as well.

Even more ironically I am reading it for pleasure.

im pushing through most of the Ted Dekker books right now im in Showdown.

In the table in order are
Saint
Sinner
Kiss

Saint=pure wyn
Sinner=epic fail.
Kiss=I enjoyed it, but it didn't really have too many twists. (a few)

I'm currently reading Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem and I just finished Kiss, so I expect to start another one next week.

My school offers that class, actually.

Just started St. Augustine's Confessions, nearly finished already.

It's been too long since I've seen How to Kill a Mockingbird. Thanks for that, Tim

Did you not have an opinion on Showdown or are you letting my make that...

I've been getting into some classics lately. I just finished Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, and am currently reading 1984, by George Orwell. So far I love it!

If you havent, read Fahrenheit 451 as well. Similar to 1984, but a little more action involved near the end.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #62 on:** January 29, 2009, 08:27:52 PM »

You know, I've heard a lot of mixed reports about that book. It was taken off the classics list at my school for some reason.

I'm curious now.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #63 on:** January 29, 2009, 08:45:36 PM »

o.O what?? Dude, its a fantastic book.

Isildur · « **Reply #64 on:** January 29, 2009, 09:49:21 PM »

Some questionable material in the book may be the cause.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #65 on:** January 29, 2009, 10:28:57 PM »

Would that be the kind of sexual questionability?

Well, not all of it; just the first four or so books and write a 2-3 page paper on it.

When we read the Gilgamesh epic, there were some words redacted with black sharpie. Problem solved, and we still read Gilgamesh. Middlebury is a heavily Amish/ Mennonite community, but they are quite pragmatic in this respect

So yeah, I talked to Jael until 2, downloaded Rosetta Stone and drilled Latin until 3, and now I'm discussing the rise of the Ubermensch with one of my philosophy schoolmates/associates. I'll pop some adderoll at five, put some tea on the kettle, read Ethics, and write my paper.

Not something I would recommend making a habit. Its not healthy to get into a schedule like that.

Probably not, though I do take it routinely so I didn't get off my norm too much, just lost some sleep.

though interesting

Now, I"m rading Black, Red, and White by Ted Dekker. Heard good things about this book.
