Funny, I tried to access that one earlier today, but it never loaded for me. And it still isn't. I did watch his interview with Charlie Rose on YouTube, though.

I intend to read this book in my free time:



Most of my time, however, is being spent reading articles not related in any way to any phenomenological minds

Sometimes I read National Enquirer.

Re-reading 100 years of Solitude. It's one of my comfort books when times are shit.

Anyone recommend a translation for the works of Homer? The Iliad and Odyssey specifically.

EDIT: Decided on Lattimore.

Reading this in its entirety, after having studied only various sections during my undergrad.

I'm about to embark on a self-propelled study of Michel Serres and reading Yaguello, among others, is my prep.

I'm currently reading A Confederacy of Dunces by JK Toole. It's damn brilliant. The story behind is awesome too.

"Les Mots et les Choses" is brilliant. Start with it if you want to study Michel Serres.

My fiancée gave me this book because she couldn't stand Foucault's style in Portuguese. I didn't really read it seriously but, after a while, neither could I

It's a very particular point of view on humanities, with a strong historical overview. Of course, it's biaised like any other Foucault's book.

Do you have any books to recommend on cognitive science or evolutionary psychology? Steven Pinker got me interested in such subjects and want to get more into them.
