1). “City of God” by St. Augustine. I checked it out at the library three weeks ago and I’m just now starting to seriously read it. And it’s due this Friday! Anywho, I’m starting to get into more Christian philosophy. Not to bash any philosophy, but secular philosophy, like existentialism, gets to be kinda hard for me to read sometimes. Which leads me to…

2). “The Myth of Sisyphus” by Albert Camus. I’ve only read the first 10 pages or so. It’s pretty interesting so far. I don’t think life is really absurd, like what Camus or Sartre says. Depends on how you look at it.

3). “Seen and Heard: Teenagers Talk About Their Lives.” It’s one of those depressing books where they get a bunch of teens and ask them to share their views on life. You got the hippie chick, the troubled one, the Ivy League type, the rocker, etc. This book does have Shura Baryshnikov, daughter of Mikhal (sp?) Baryshnikov and Jessica Lange. I think I’m in love!

Anywho, that’s what I’ve been reading lately.
