New year, new computer, new apartment, new attitude toward this blog. I've come to realize that I can't be successful in my career, keep up my gym routine, have any kind of social life, and still read a hundred important books a year: there just aren't enough hours in the week. Maybe if I sacrificed one or the other, but I'm unwilling to do that.
I'm still dedicated to reading a roughly equivalent amount of non-fiction and novels, and I'm still dedicated to reading a wide spectrum of non-fiction. As of today, I am in the middle of four books:
Non-Fiction:
The Rise of the West--William H. McNeill (828pp.) 1963
Aristotle for Everybody--Mortimer J. Adler (206pp.) 1978
The Politics--Aristotle (172pp.) 4th C. BCE
Novel:
The Diary of a Country Priest--Georges Bernanos (298pp.) 1937
I'll provide the usual capsule reactions as I complete them (which in the case of McNeill will be sometime in the distant future).
