Hopefully I can avoid any of the dramatics from the last two days tonight.
Quick review on this week's readings:
Nov 25 The Shoemaker's Holiday by Dekker: 2/5 I wasn't thrilled with this one, but I think part of that was the production.
Nov 26 "On The Tragedies of Shakespeare" by Lamb: 1/5 Lamb is entitled to his opinions, and I am entitled to think this is one of the dumbest things I read all year.
Nov 27 Utopia by More: 2/5 If the thing you're satirizing isn't real, is it really satire?
Nov 28 Poems by Blake: 2/5 Slant rhymes rhymes with band rinds.
Nov 29 Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding by Hume: 3/5 I think some of the other philosophers have had similar points in 15MAD, but still relevant.
Nov 30 “Hints Towards an Essay on Conversation” by Swift: 4/5 All good advice, and interestingly written.
Dec 1 Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous by Hume: 1/5 Heat isn't real.
Average: 2.14 I'm developing a physical aversion to philosophical dialogues.
Overall Thoughts on The Project:
I Swift's "Conversation" for I think the third time, and it's great every time. I look forward to rereading some of my other favorites (and finishing the ones that're in excerpts) later this year.
