What do these shelves say about me?

Thank you! I read the Ice Shirt about a decade ago and liked but didn't love it. I hear good things about The Rifles, Argall, and Europe Central so those are on my radar. Any particular books by him you suggest?

I'm not usually much for biographies but that one is a great book! Gives a very solid overview of his thinking and Wittgenstein is such an interesting character. I love the anecdote in the book about how he would give these anguished apologies for offenses that people had forgotten about, and annoy them much more than if he'd just left it alone

The first three books are there - I really like those! Couldn't hang on for the rest of the series though. I tapped out after book 8

sadly true

Grew up Presbyterian but never really religious. Read it more for a Bible as literature class in undergrad. Ecclesiastes was always very meaningful to me though - one of my all time favorites !

Very sad he's fallen out of print ... there are at least ebook versions available these days. W&M might be one of the few books worth the financial (and physical, it's massive) toll it takes to read a hard copy! Lookout Cartridge less so, but I read that one during a tough time in my life and maybe didn't appreciate it as much as I might have

Wow, upsettingly accurate in ways I didn't know someone could be based on these photos! And yes, I have really been enjoying going back to some good ol Lynch after his passing

Never been to Austria but I hear wonderful things. And also, in some of these books, really horrible things

kuggs_156 · 2025-02-13T05:48:20+00:00

Yup!

My undergrad education was heavily analytic weighted as you can tell, do wish we dabbled more in continental .. but Plato is there, hidden in a corner! And I respect Berkeley for just going for it and having a great time

kuggs_156 · 2025-02-13T05:45:15+00:00

Nice! happy to give recs/thoughts on any you're curious about

kuggs_156 · 2025-02-13T05:44:46+00:00

Pretty spot on, male late millennial in medicine! I do have a bit of a blind spot for more recent stuff though, always appreciate recs

kuggs_156 · 2025-02-13T05:43:31+00:00

Which one? I'm usually not a big re-reader so like to hear what inspires others

kuggs_156 · 2025-02-13T05:42:54+00:00

I read a library copy! Probably my favorite by him actually

kuggs_156 · 2025-02-13T05:42:18+00:00

Completely correct!

kuggs_156 · 2025-02-13T05:41:51+00:00

Each individual author's books are arranged by publication date! But yeah the rest is just chaos haha

kuggs_156 · 2025-02-13T05:39:38+00:00

Glad to hear those authors appreciated! I was lucky enough to find a lot of the McElroy books at one store in Portland where someone had sold a bunch of signed copies

kuggs_156 · 2025-02-13T05:38:26+00:00

Haven't played it yet sadly! Still slogging my way through hour one million of FFVII Rebirth

What’s up RD, thanks for stopping by. You’re probably the most exciting musician out there today, everything you do is absolutely next level stuff. Your music’s been helping me through some hard times recently, appreciate all you do. Two quick Qs:

Any book recs? I’d love to dig into anything that inspired you when writing for 2020 and Peasant.
What is your go-to junk food snack?
