books
So, I haven't posted forever because life is unimportant. But books matter and I just bought great imposing stacks of them.
- En attendant Godot - beckett lol
- ESPERANTO: A COMPLETE COURSE FOR BEGINNERS - just so I have a comeback when eurofags bother me about my patriotic monolingualism
- Borges and the Eternal Orangutans - meh, brain candy
- Latin for Even More Occasions:
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSAN!
Another Latin book?
Now you say,
"Est admodum quod volvi!"
(it's just what I wanted.)
"Ecce, deuvo ago, sicut soleo! Non enim possum facere quia Latine loquav."
Amusante, n'est-ce pas?
Well, tete oblecta!
(have fun)
-Elyabett JAN. '92 - Confessions of a Mask - "AH YES! Cut me! No, this isn't homoerotic sadomasichism, it's ancient samurai virtue..."
(Note: I was going to make an AIDs joke here, then changed my mind because I didn't want to offend people. Then I realized I'm actually an ass and so added this note, hoping someone would be offended.)
MIT Press Book Store - Consciousness: a user's guide - I actually paid real money for this, so it better be interesting. It looks like a good overview, with a decent amount fof wit.
- Inside & Out of Byzantium - "I think in different languages, my black is your white, and vice-versa. I try to think metaphorically and expect you to follow the abstract patterns of my thought." Short stories.
- Belief Reports and the Structure of Believing - honestly, I just want material to bother my ToK teacher with. But it also mentions QUINE. Fuck you, analytic-synthetic distinction.
- Historical Linguistics: An Introduction - HARK, STRANGER! Do you obey GRIMM's LAW?
- What Every Engineer SHould Know About AI -(
I've actually read part of this one. It's dated (1988) but awwright.
(However, the author has a twisted mind:
(Query? Flee? No.
Fight? No.
Feed? No.
Attempt to Fondle!!
Result: Skinny, Big green Eyes,
Nice Legs, Bright.
Decision: "Hey baby, I/O?"
Timeout.)))
