Reading List for EgoDeath

[EgoDeath]

Dude you are fucking awesome lol

I was thinking more just like a private message or something but you made it a whole thread lol that's great

Maybe I should be a little more gentle with you. I honestly didn't think I was getting under your skin that much.

Anyway, I do seriously thank you for the list. I've read The Divine Comedy, and The Symposium by Plato, though the rest are foreign to me, but I will add them to my book list... I keep a comprehensive list on my phone for whenever I happen to wander into Barnes & Noble (yes I still prefer to buy physical books), which is pretty often.

I actually came into the store one day looking for a book on Hermeneutics, an inquiry inspired by you, actually. I ended up leaving with a complete volume of Josephus' works - which is an interesting read - because they didn't have any books on Hermeneutics.

Thanks for the list champ.

edit:

I'm admittedly more of a fiction guy... I like to read Hemingway and Dickens and Steinbeck and so on. But I certainly love non-fiction.

However, speaking of fiction, what do you think of Milton's Paradise Lost? Personally one of my all time favorite pieces of literature.

second edit:

I actually did get a good laugh from you doing this. So that's awesome... thank you.

Also, I think it will be good to have a list like this for the forum. Maybe we can get it stickied eventually. Despite some people's dismissive opinions of Christianity, and other religions, I do think that learning about religion can be useful, especially for atheists. After all, we should know exactly what we're standing in opposition to, no?

Though, technically, an atheist doesn't have to be opposed to religion... technically they just don't believe in, or lack belief in, god. But you get what I'm saying.
