summer reading list
Aside from The Project, of course. (For which I'm rereading: Carl Schmitt's Concept of the Political, Michel Foucault's Fearless Speech, Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra, Paul Virillio's Negative Horizon OR Speed and Politics and a smattering from the Heidigger-Derrida-Marcuse tirfecta).
Alison Bechdel's Fun Home
Ed Brubaker's Criminal
Friedrich Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy
Aristophone's The Lysistrata
Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men
Gabriel Garcia Marquez' Love in the Time of Cholera
Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner
Michale Pryor's Blaze of Glory
I'm reading these because they are already on my bookshelf, waiting for my attention. I have this terrible habit of accumulating books even when I don't have time to read them. I don't read much for pleasure when classes are in session, comics being the big exception to that rule. I find it hard to really enjoy fiction when I know that there are three other novels, plays and other assorted weighty tomes in need of being read yesterday.
There are a metric tonne of books on my to-read list though, and I hope to get to some of the heavyweights once I've breezed through the above. War and Peace has been giving me the evil eye, ever since that time I gave up on it 3/4s of the way through, in favour of Brothers Karamozov. Moby Dick also knows how to hold a grudge.
What are you people reading?

What is this, you ask? A freaking great t-shirt, that's what.
