Wow, yet another opportunity to briefly sate the howling darkness within by purchasing a stack of books I'm unlikely to finish before achieving physico-chemical equilibrium with my surroundings. Thank you! 😁 The Invention of Athens, The Divided City, and The Normal and the Pathological sound particularly interesting, if challenging. I'm always curious about anything featuring Poe as well. Ditto anything by Eric Cline. Have a good one!
I just finished Cline's new book, After 1177 BC, which was solid. He once again tries not to put himself out there in his interpretations, but I guess that is ok in an introduction. It was the sequel to 1177 BC, which was a decent book. I have read Three Stones Make a Wall and it is very good. I have that Cline book on Megiddo, almost chose it as my current read. Cline has excavated at Megiddo for a while now. I almost got that Ferrone book, got Cassirer's instead.
I've heard Canguilhem dovetails nicely with other people interested in the sociology of knowledge, especially Foucault. Let me know if you want to take the plunge together sometime. Also: not 1,000 long. 😄
Most of these PUP books look like they will be challenging but interesting. A surprising range of subjects. Thanks for showing us. Of course The History of Art History sounds the most interesting to me (a bit of Heidegger too).
I love how they walk the line between having broad, mass appeal and being scholarly monographs. They hit that perfect spot in being aimed toward broadly curious people, but nevertheless amateurs, which is right where I fit in. If you feel like giving the "History of Art History" a peek sometime, let me know. Incentive: it's not 1,000 pages long.
I hope there will be some reviews of these in some misty future. Probably not to soon, so mupy book budget can recover, your are my main bookish leader astray, John.
Greek history and intellectual though, histories of science, archeology.... sounds like a good set of books John. The 2 Greek ones sound the most interesting to me, shocking I know, but then probably that history of biology book. Thanks for the vid!

Well, thanks for expanding the TBR once again. The Normal and The Pathological is a must read for me. Grabbing that Poe eventually as well. Nice vid!

Yes, I read that Poe book last year. It was a swift, informative read. Nice haul!
It's been on my list ever since I saw you hold it up. Thanks for always showing us the good stuff!

At your service, as always!
@@NicholasOfAutrecourt well thank you fair knight.

Not to float any future reading plans, but Brendan sounded interested in it, too ... 👀.

@@TriumphalReads 287 of readable text, with another 40 pages of end matter.
@NicholasOfAutrecourt I would complain but that's reasonable haha
