About me"Es wäre gut, Bücher zu kaufen, wenn man die Zeit, sie zu lesen, mitkaufen könnte, aber man verwechselt meistens den Ankauf der Bücher mit dem Aneignen ihres Inhalts."

"Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents."

From: Parerga and Paralipomena by Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

Based on your recommendation in my thread "The most alien aliens", I bought and read "Dragon's Egg".

I just finished it, and it is AMAZING. I thank you SO much for this recommendation... this book is now one of my favorites.

I haven't as yet read "Spinoza : a life of reason" by Abraham Wolfson. However it does look promising and the work seemed to be referenced elsewhere. I vaguely remember reading it recommended by someone which inspired me to find it in the first place. I don't sell books but I found it on Amazon so you should be able to do so too.
