welcome to: THE PENGUIN GREAT IDEAS PROJECT!
as you all know, i'm:
a) addicted to projects (and my book club, my long classics project, and my genius project are all on pause)
b) mildly behind on my reading challenge (see: months-long reading slump and corresponding existential crisis)
c) very into short books that make me look smart (much like the penguin great ideas collection).
i have acquired a couple dozen penguin great ideas installments, and i will be attempting to read one a day until i get bored, catch up, or reach spiritual fulfillment!
find past books here:
WHAT IS EXISTENTIALISM?
REFLECTIONS ON THE GUILLOTINE
THREE JAPANESE BUDDHIST MONKS
let's do this!
in all seriousness, if i was only allowed to have one opinion, it'd be being against the death penalty. this didn't have too much new to say on the argument (although it was written the better part of a century ago, to be fair) but it is sharp and concise.
i'm glad to have read it.
