My Favorite World #18
When I was a lad, I decided I should go ahead and plan on accomplishing three simple tasks:
- Read every great book ever written.
- Listen to every great piece of music ever written.
- See every great movie ever made.
I’m almost finished.1/rimshot
Reading is a huge piece of My Favorite World. Much of my recent reading has been non-fiction. It’s been pretty heavy slogging.2Including yet another run-in with Daniel Dennett that ended the way the first two did: I’m doing pretty well until, inevitably, somewhere c. page 120-150, I begin to feel I am the stupidest person in the world. I liked Coming of Age in the Milky Way quite a lot, but covering billions of years can sort of feel like it. It was time for some fiction.
