When Nietzsche Wept, Irvine D Yalom

Great book. I enjoyed it immensly. Yalom was a good writer who managed to give insights without sounding like a teacher 🙂

I'm really enjoying it too. I'm a big fan of Nietzsche and am impressed how Yalom has brought him to life. I'll be reading 'the Schopenhauer Cure' next.

And now to bring down the level🙂: Phillip Jose Farmer, The OTHER log of Phileas Fogg. (A different take on around the world in 80 days).

I have just read Michael Fletcher Chronlien des Wahns (US original: Beyond Redemption)
A good read (I ponder to buy the next volume), and a good philosophical take on reality, faith and different ways to handle the world...a bit bloody I should warn those who just want the philosophical discourse...

Hmmm. Do you recommend Taylor for me, knowing my tastes, somewhat?

Stees, from what I have read so far of The Anatomy of Ghosts, it may be something you would like. Perhaps you could try it and let me know what you think.

Hidden Figures. It still reads more like a documentary than a story narrative, though.

What is with the hatred aimed at JW's? I see all kinds of slanderous threads as if other Christian denomanations are guilt free of all the crap I see aimed at JW's. Me, I don't like ANY religion but that is just me. What is with your particular hatred of JW's?

I thought for some silly reason you worshipped the same god.
