I'm reading about Math and History combined. Seems a bit odd, but hey.. I'm not a teacher.

Started reading a book from a college course on existentialism, some 30 years ago. The Illusion of Technique by William Barrett. It's more interesting now, but still challenging.

If you've become so jaded that you're down to reading that, your life truly is meaningless.

Who cares?

Isn't it enough to trudge slowly to your death, realizing that all of your endeavors, even if successful are no more than grains of sand in a vast desert, without creating a science to address your inadequacies?

Latino Carribbean Literature: a collection

Some short stories from Cuban, Domincan and Puerto Rican authors. The Cuban ones are indeed interesting ahd illuminating: mostly dealing with the transition from Castro Cuba to US.

Well, I'm rereading "Quantrill of Missouri", simply because it was handy whenever I had to hurry to the "library" the other morning.

One thing about him, he was no existentialist!!!

Hard work mattered, but so did luck, fortune, fate, whatever you want to call it.
