The odyssey, fagles translation. Read about 100 pages today. Takes a lot longer to get through than regular works.. Probably took me 4.5 hours.

It's not that big.

A book about the dark sides of our history going back 200 years. About how we treated Jews, Romani and Sami people as second class citizen. How people who were sent to asylums got lobotomized and castrated by force. How people up until 1980 got arrested for blasphemy.

Really enjoying it. The gang rape scene was pretty intense.

Good choice. I'm a huge Bernhard fan. (Extinction is probably my favorite) Seems like Bernhard fans are few and far between, but his fans fucking LOVE his work. I would say he's the best novelist to come out of the second half of the century.

I'm finishing up my second read-through of Don Quixote

Loving it so far, thinking of Reading illuminatus trilogy after. What do you guys think of it?

Downloaded a bunch of books on Psychodynamic Psychotherapy on a whim. Really interesting stuff, what other books on this topic can you guys recommend?

Cosmic Trigger is really good, very personal work for RAW. I read it after having read most of his other stuff and it summarizes a lot of it nicely, but he assumes you know a lot when he talks in that book.

Illuminatus! is 100% worth reading, but the Historical Illuminatus trilogy is his most practical work.

Crist Tovani - I Read It but I Don't Get It: Comprehension Strategies for Adolescent Readers

I began teaching high school English this year. I wasn't too optimistic about this book, but it has actually given me some good starting points on strategies to improve my students' reading comprehension skills, particularly with the remedial class I have.
