You're already a voice inside my head

I got paid today, and I felt the need for a little retail therapy, so I went out to the Canberra Centre. I have this lust right now for books; I read them at lightning speed, soaking up the story, and come out the other end hungry for the next one. So, in line with my new addiction, today I bought:
"Naked Lunch" by William Burroughs

Hi darling, I'm glad you are taking so much pleasure in books, its great, but all these could have been bought at second hand book stores like Rons at a tiny fraction of the new price........

I'm so glad you are so keen about reading anyway, its a wonderful pastime...:-)

Love, Mum

Well, this is why I have a job: so I can afford whatever I want, whenever I want. Don't worry, I'm living very much within my means.

Hi Skye

Sartre's book "Nausea" is philosophical in the sense that it is about the "stickiness" of existence....

If you get a chance, also read Sartre's "Iron in the Soul" . It is a much better work as a novel, and touches on a lot of the themes you have been studying this semester (moral responsibility, freedom, action in the world as the existential condition of the human individual,etc, whereas Nausea is really about ontology and the difference between being-for-itself vs being-in-itself..... ah, don't you just love Continental philosophy?)
