Must resist the temptation to respond further...

Finally getting around to reading Zizek's latest:



As an undergraduate (at least, up until my senior year) Zizek was pretty much my master, and I considered myself a Lacanian / Zizekian. I've pretty much disavowed that perspective, but I still enjoy reading his work and try to keep up with his latest refinements. This work in particular is shaping up to be one of his most impressive, one of those rarities that manages to be both accessibly and fun to read while getting into the depths of thought (this monster is over 1000 rather large pages).

Zizek makes philosophy fun. Some would say too fun LOL.

I just started reading George Orwell's "1984". The actuality of that story frightens and fascinates me at the same time. The way Orwell tells Winston's story is effective and dread inducing once you start to draw the parallels and analogies.

Heh, my brother just started rereading that one.

Reading:

The Electrostatic Loudspeaker Cookbook - Roger Sanders

I've had this on my wish list for a while, did you get it for a sane price?
