Omit Heedless Words: The Elements of Style According to Emma Woodhouse
Pride and Prejudice has been a favorite novel since college. I found it a difficult, rewarding book. I found the prose difficult initially, but I kept reading because I enjoyed the Bennetts so much. I read Pride and Prejudice at least four times before it dawned on me that I should read Austen’s other novels. … Continue reading Omit Heedless Words: The Elements of Style According to Emma Woodhouse
The Shilling of a Sacred Deer: Plutarch’s Sertorius and The White Fawn
I’ve mentioned my current long-term reading project is Plutarch’s Parallel Lives and how enjoyable the passages on Archimedes were. Another favorite sequence is on Quintus Sertorius. If you’ve read Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, then you’ve already got an idea of what kind of guy Sertorius was: a statesman, a member of the nobility, and a general. … Continue reading The Shilling of a Sacred Deer: Plutarch’s Sertorius and The White Fawn

From the Eunoia Archives: Coker’s Para-Philosophical Advice
I took John Coker’s intro to philosophy class my first semester of college and eventually took a class or directed study with him every semester for the next four years. I spent hours talking to him about music, literature, and philosophy. I still have books he gave me. I feel lucky that I was able … Continue reading From the Eunoia Archives: Coker’s Para-Philosophical Advice
Might as well, again. 2017 edition.
I mentioned here about the original post getting views and not being sure what it was about or why people were reading it. On the original list, I hadn’t seen even one film released in 2017, but I was eager to see Get Out, which didn’t disappoint. I knew little of Jordan Peele (I’ve since … Continue reading Might as well, again. 2017 edition.
When you get there, you will already be there: Twin Peaks: The Return
From the beginning, Twin Peaks seemed like an impossible international hit, and there’s no way the third season, The Return, could live up to every expectation. The cliffhanger ending of the second season and the seeming disregard to the characters led to rumors that the last episode was David Lynch’s middle finger extended at the … Continue reading When you get there, you will already be there: Twin Peaks: The Return
From my oldest extant notebook, early ’90s.
Was looking for something else and found this. We had to have cover sheets for test days and I always drew stuff like this for them. I remember one I had even earlier than this in middle school and it had a guy making a crazy face, pulling his hair, and a little bit of … Continue reading From my oldest extant notebook, early ’90s.
