- ok, my five 'n three:
-
- Still Life - a summary of tom's thought, with a few major exceptions
- Compleat Shakespeare - master of the English language
- Whose Justice, Which Morality (Alsdair MacIntyre) - summarizes much of the
- philosophical thought from Homer to the present, along with very
- brilliant methods of putting the varied views in perspective.
- The Lover (marguerite duras) - an amazing story, full of beautiful thoughts on
- the idea and act of love.
- Catch-22 - just to remember how bad things can get
-
- The four seasons (vivaldi) for good reason
- Operation Mindcrime - to find out if a person can get bored of it
- a dead concert - reason obvious and stated by others.
-
-
- this question was a good idea.. it'll get a little off the robbins tract,
- but anyone with a thinking mind should be excitied to devieate from the norm, much as my typing does.
