My high thoughts for the series never left me, but I stopped reading them over a year ago. I wanna go back and finish them and im wondering if perhaps i shouldnt start back at the beginning? It wouldnt be anything of a pain now i consider it.

In the campus library in Pensacola I read a few essays by Arthur Schopenhauer that had an absolutely profound impact on me for as much as three or four days. I want to go back and read the bulk of this man’s work. I also took a shameless joy in the anecdote of him kicking his mom down the stairs (as i remember it) after years of grudgery and bitter philosophical dispute.
