Starting Again

I have taken a break from reading and an even longer break from writing about it. Here is a list of what I have read since Locke:

  1. Rousseau: The Social Contract- this was disturbing
  2. Gibbon: The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire ch 15-16- I liked this and will read more
  3. The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, several of The Federalist Papers
  4. Smith: The Wealth of Nations book 1 ch 9
  5. Marx/Engels: Manifesto of the Communist Party
  6. Homer: The Iliad- loved this 
  7. Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Choephoroe, Eumenides- I loved these.
  8. Sophocles: Oedipus the King, Antigone: I liked these so much I finished the trilogy.
  9. Herodotus: The History book 1-3- these were fun
  10. Plato: Meno
  11. Aristotle: Poetics- very interesting
  12. Aristotle: Ethics book 2,3,&6
  13. Nicomachus: Introduction to Arithmetic
This is where I pick up, with writing and everything.
