various philosophical literature

after reading an excerpt of einstein’s dreams i have found myself hooked on literary works that utilize philosophical theory.

here is a new list of books to add to my queue:
einstein’s dreams – alan lightman
invisible cities – italo calvino
slaughter house five – kurt vonnegut
little kingdoms – steven millhauser
labyrinths – jorge luis borges
ghost – alan lightman
dance for two – alan lightman

i was doing research on various design topics today at the library came across a ton of great books, all of which i wanted to check out. yet my reasonably strong arms would provide no match, in addition to the compactness of available time to read them all.

today i compromised, i checked out 5 books. this brings my total to 13 books. tomorrow my will may waver, i must be strong, and a quick reader.

books that i wanted to read:
tanaka ikko: graphic master
max huber
karl gerstner
jean widmer: a devotion to modernism
robert brownjohn: sex and typography
pierre mendel: at first sight
hiromura masaaki: space graphysm

i finally made a decision and got my hands on my next fictional reading; the tin princess. this is the fourth and final, although disputed, book in the sally lockheart mystery series.

i have been super busy and have had philosophical text liberally applied, to the point of suffering from lack of enjoyable, fictional reading.

i have also been jumping around series, primarily because finishing tiger in the well was so arduous, detailed, and lengthy. i am going to put sally lockheart and her mysteries to rest upon completion of this story. i will enjoy the tail, then on with other series that have been courting me from afar.
