Books - What are you reading?

Well, after reading that I thought, "Hey, this philosophy jazz is pretty interesting", so I downloaded Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. I gave up after 100, arduous pages. So something in between that wraps up the comparison of different philosophies in a neat fiction based package.

(a) Most translations into English are pants, and even the better ones can't capture the original, so you need a little additional material just to explain the language differences.

(b) Reading the Critique without either a bit of introduction from someone who's understood it or some secondary literature is essentially pointless (unless you're a natural born philosopher).

(c) The bit you apparently did get through is probably the best bit of the Critique (and one of the best texts ever written) and is richly, life-changingly rewarding if you understand it.

Happy to help if you're still interested. :)
