Is "Heidegger: A Very Short Introduction" a good secondary lit before I delve into BT? I plan to read it for the next couple of months, but I would rather familiarize myself with secondary literature, such as Dreyfus' lectures and the aforementioned book.

Any other recommendations? (Besides >read (almost) the entire Western Philosophical canon)

>They were unfortunately his main method. I say "unfortunately" because that's the only reason for which we have lost them: they were so commonly printed and so widely read that Andronicus of Rhodes (the guy who basically saved the part of the corpus we know of) didn't think they required his own effort for preserving them.
Oh fuck man that's tragic.

best books to help wake him up?

the thread i was posting this in got deleted so here

>try to read any work of literature
>vivid mental image of a movie interpretation, complete with casting, directing, special effects, dialogue, set design, and even a filmm score the entire time i'm reading

>understand absolutely nothing about the book

the last books i did with this were Metamorphosis and Siddhartha. siddhartha especially i imagined an americanized version, so i had to completely reimagime the characters and setting.
i don't even enjoy reading anymore because i end up getting lost imagining the entire novel and then i get asked a basic question about it and completely blank
funny thing is i hate movies and haven't watched one in years. and i'm studying to be a stem major for some reason
my mom says it sounds very impressive but i hate talking about books at college because i instantly appear retarded when i miss basic symbolism. the only stuff i am good at recognizing is entry level biblical symbolism which explains why i had such a good time visualizing Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by joyce, and because i had a teacher who actually gave a damn

this will probably get ignored but i want to know if other people have this problem

anyway good night /lit/ see you in 5 hours
