The force is strong with this one.
I'd love to debate random topics with you. Assuming you've actually read everything you claim, I think you'd be a refreshing change from the vast majority of people who simply regurgitate whatever their heroes say.
If you're interested, email me sometime: zedshaw at zedshaw.com.
- marcamillion 15y agoHrmm...while I haven't read all of those books - granted I am still relatively young (sub 30) - I too feel like I have no outlet to really debate various topics that I would love to. People really aren't interested. If there was some forum where people of like minds could get together and talk (verbally, not typing on a keyboard) say a Google Hangout or something, I think that would be awesome and definitely something I would be interested in. Provided it can be moderated and organized and not be chaos (and focused on content, learning, expanding knowledge, etc.).
- jackfoxy 15y agoZed, You are one of the interesting people I would like to meet someday. I will eventually get in touch. My job (among other distractons) is sapping me right now, but I hope to get back to real life by mid-November. Likewise I can be reached jacfoxy at gmail dot com.
- wyclif 15y agoI would add Jacob Burckhardt's The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy to the book list. It appears to be a glaring omission.
- brndnhy 15y agoThis was one of my favorite college texts. I'm really disappointed that I'd forgotten about it until your comment. Thanks.
- wyclif 15y agoThanks. BTW, Caesar's _The Gallic Wars_ is available online from MIT: http://classics.mit.edu/Caesar/gallic.html http://classics.mit.edu/Caesar/gallic.html
