Either way, it was way back, in college. And, I remember, I was first attracted to Sisyphus b'cos of the futility of the poor character's situation and, of course, as you said, the fact that it was all about suicide and death :-)GhostOfTomJoadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13548587422494111204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25135975.post-1156083531197711582006-08-20T22:18:00.000+08:002006-08-20T22:18:00.000+08:00ok i concede....apparently there are things more a...ok i concede....apparently there are things more absurd than W reading Camus<BR/><BR/>TR: shaquille o'neal reading nietzsche???!!!how did you think that up???.....i cant even picture it... =P<BR/><BR/>AQC: Cheney should read hesse...it would be absurd, but he could learn a bit no??....<BR/>My Istanbul trip is sadly on the backburner. But, i have promised myself i will travel there at the earliest possible. <BR/>I am utterly obsessed with Ottoman history and Kostova's "Historian" has been on my books to read list so i guess i should get down to it now =D<BR/><BR/>GhostOfTomJoad: i havent read all of Camus either * sheepish grin*. have a couple left. Is Camus not absolutely brilliant? I have adored him since reading the first line of The Myth of Sisyphus.<BR/>"There is only one really serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide."

I feel quite ashamed that I haven't read Outsider yet. But, now that Mr Bush has also joined the ranks of those who have, maybe it's time I did too :-)GhostOfTomJoadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13548587422494111204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25135975.post-1155961509749592042006-08-19T12:25:00.000+08:002006-08-19T12:25:00.000+08:00Or Cheney with Hesse?You could read Kostova's "His...Or Cheney with Hesse?<BR/><BR/>You could read Kostova's "Historian" before you visit Istanbul.Arthur Quiller Couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06780781021139169243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25135975.post-1155874147856841172006-08-18T12:09:00.000+08:002006-08-18T12:09:00.000+08:00that's easy. shaquille o'neal reading nietzsche.do...that's easy. shaquille o'neal reading nietzsche.<BR/><BR/>don't forget to catch the latest derrida at your local walmart.Tabula Rasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358094860426062297noreply@blogger.com
