Is that a... Fat Nigger with a book?

Anyway, it's a summer of misery. Finished Goethe's Werther and Elective Affinities, Stoner (somewhat of a common theme there).
Now trying to finish Thucydides. Athens and Sparta sign yet another truce, Corinth is being a sneaky jew yet again, we fight these guys, now these guys are allies, we fight those guys, Argos is both retarded and unlucky, 6 hundred million are killed. Still nearly half of the book left and I'm dreaming of killing myself every day, due to unrelated issues.

A couple of Heraclitus studies (Kirk and Kahn) and Runaway Horses finally, I finished Spring Snow over a year ago but all the memories are flooding back. The studies are definitely gonna be useful for future research but can sometimes be a slog when the debate is whether a metaphor is about a pen or a combing wheel. Otherwise, the debates concerning the nature of his physical doctrines and whether he esposed a cosmogony or ecpyrosis are what's keeping me interested.

Reading The Big Money by John Dos Passos

Next on the horizon The Town by William Faulkner

Then knocking off some neglected Shakespeare. King John

After that I don’t know. Maybe Lincoln by Gore Vidal or The Enigma of Arrival by Naipaul

Why do no flat chested, MONSTER THIGHed, Brown skinned womenesque people exist outside of corporate art? Why am I only allowed to jerk off to google doodles? Why would Christ allow this?
