I believe the correct term is "participants in a seminar".

I'm in the process of reading Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant. I've read selections in political philosophy, but never read the whole thing.

Good luck. One of the densest, most terribly written, most incomprehensible, but most fascinating texts of modern philosophy.

Lord of the Rings is even better, when you get there
 I'm rereading parts of it.

I've finally started on The Children of Hurin. I thought I would find it too depressing to get through, judging from reading the story in Unfinished Tales, but reading it as an uninterrupted story helps a lot. Also, reading it in Norwegian rather than in English also helps. Anything to cheer me up, which that sad tale desperately needs.
I'm really glad that Christopher managed to make this version. I only wish he would do something similar with Gondolin, although that would be even more difficult, because there is less finished materials for it.

That's the one! Maybe my little symbology wasn't so very clever after all!

It was clever. I figured it out right away too though.
As some of you might know I finished The Brothers Karamazov the other day and it was the best book I ever read. I'm reading The Secret Garden just for fun now, because I'd always been a little curious about it. It's cute but I have sort of an issue with it- I'll wait and see if it turns out well at the end of the book. (Like what happened with Lolita- I didn't really like it until I got to the end.) |

Thanks. That's a great recommendation. I'll ask Santa for 'em!

The only good book I've read recently, was The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks.
For the rest I read mostly my schoolbooks

Read Atonement by Ian McEwan yesterday. The writing was very good in places. The story started off slow, I prefered the second half of the book. The ending was good. This morning I finished reading the Bible! It took me a little over a year. Unfortunately, I haven't had a whole lot of time for reading since starting college other than schoolbooks. I got a collection of C.S. Lewis books for Christmas that I want to read.
