Meet Me There

So I finally did it. I bought Plato’s collected works. I realized yesterday that I’ve been reading about Plato for some time—mostly summaries and introductions in larger books—but I’ve never actually read Plato. So, I tried at the public library yesterday to find some of his dialogues, but their entire philosophy section consisted of two (small) introductory summary-style books. I was very disappointed. So when I got the Borders 40% off coupon in my email this morning, it seemed obvious what I needed to do.

One reason I’m not taking classes for the Summer term is because I have so much I want to read to get ready for classes in the Fall. For some reason, I feel like I’m so far behind where I need to be. So here are (some of) the books on my Summer Reading List. If I can make some progress in these, maybe I’ll add a few more.

Oh, and there is always the reviewing I need to do for the next Hebrew class I’ll have. (So I moved my coffee maker into my bedroom… you know… so I can get an early start on it all.) The way I figure it, the more work I do now, the easier time of it I’ll have in class later, and (hopefully) I’ll also get more out of it. That’s really the main goal.
