Hegel's Phenomenology of the Spirit, Marx's Capital, Foucault's work, von Neumann and Morgenstern' Game Theory, and the Perl 6 Apocalypses and Exegeses from the early 2000's.


Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid (GEB) - too much for me.


I found GEB understandable but ridiculously long winded and the passages with achilles were insufferably annoying.


I honestly found even the preface insufferable


It was very readable to me. I really enjoyed reading the book.


Deleuze, Bourdieu, Malebranche, ...

I find it incredibly satisfying to stretch my brain with books that are inaccessible on the first read.


Deleuze is so overrated(although I am personally biased against everything that came out and was concurrent with Mai 68 in general). I don't know if you read it in French, but in French the only "French Theorist" worse than Deleuze/Guattari is Baudrillar(for how bad the concepts are).

IMO the most interesting one from that era is Clouscard.


Did you read Deleuze's Logique de la sensation?

Yes I read him in french. Unfamiliar with Clouscard. Not a fan of Baudrillar either.


From Deleuze, I read: - L'Anti-Oedipe + Mille Plateaux - Logique du sens - Le Bergsonisme - The 2 books on Nietzsche(these IMO are his best work)

Didn't get around to Logique de la Sensation, couldn't stomach him after the "Capitalisme/schizophrénie" duo.

Feynman's lectures
