Used Book Haul | Oct. 2024

Freedom! Those battles of attrition were wild.

I have a Goodwill right down the street from me...have I ever gone to look for books? Oh well, I should do that sometime. You have definitely found some interesting titles!

[@revenantreads]

Sometimes I walk out of the Goodwill empty-handed, but at other times I’m genuinely surprised at what I find.

[@bookssongsandothermagic]

Some excellent finds there. I'm with you on enjoying reading about philosophy more than the works themselves. The Bertand Russell tome on the History of Philosophy is great.

[@revenantreads]

I own that but still need to read it. I’m considering reading more history of philosophy for next year’s Historathon.

[@bookssongsandothermagic]

@@revenantreads That sounds like a great plan. I've recorded and scheduled 20 videos of History books as "Bookshelf Essentials" to appear monthly next year, where I tag the Historathon hosts in the description too - I thought that was a nice way of doing the Bookshelf Essentials idea.

Well, you lost me at philosophy, but then Kaputt got me jumping out of my chair ! 🤭 It has that typical Italian obscurity about it (in parts) but worth a read.

[@revenantreads]

Good to know. Thanks!

Some good books here. I'm with you on the Burke. He and I wouldn't agree politically, but some of his philosophical ideas are quite interesting (though I haven't read him in years).

[@revenantreads]

Thanks!
