"The Craving Mind: From Cigarettes to Smart Phones to Love- Why We Get Hooked & How We Can Break Bad Habits" by Judson Brewer.

Just checked it out, it was in the "new and popular" section in my college library. I have been seeing it for the past few weeks and finally decided to check it out. I have so many books I'm reading and on my to read list, this just seems like a good one to be reading now

I'm reading Goethe's Faust still. It's going to take me a very long time because im reading 2 interpretive notes (books) on it. It's so cryptic.

What's the most mysterious book you guys have ever read?

How children succeed....they are talking about how in areas of poverty it’s often a trauma history rather than poverty that is affecting kids ability to work in schools.

I'm reading Four Past Midnight, a series of 4 novellas by Stephen King. Well actually I'm not reading it, but listening to the audiobook. I love Stephen King.

Im at the end of Harry Potter: The Half blood Prince. I've already gone through all the harry potter books, but they are so good, I can't stop reading them. After I finish it then I'm going to go through The Name of the Wind again. This time I'm not going to read it but listen to the audio book version.

Anyone have any recommendations for a guy that likes sci fi and fantasy?

Patrick Rothfuss said The Last Unicorn is the best book he's ever read, so I'm going to give that a try.

I'm currently re-reading Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn and after that I'm going to read Merry and Bright by Debbie Macomber, time for Christmas in July!

I'm betting you have the Benjamin Jowett Translation of Plato's because it's so old the copyright has expired. You're in good hands with The Jowett Translation. I think they are far superior than the Cooper translation. However, if you have the Bloom translation it is the most literal translation, where he took out all the Christian flavor the Jowett puts it in. But I don't think Jowett gave it a Christian flair. Jowett translation reads like poetry I think. I wish I could loan you my version because I annotated and marked every page and every indent because there's so much to learn from it.

If you have any questions let me know and I'll read it with you, or you can go into the froum on PC called crazy philosophy that's at the bottom of listed forums of user created forums on pc.. Only 3 people actually post in there but I think we all have a take on it.

I took 2 months to slowly read the republic and lay out every metaphor, allegory, example, argument with multiple sources, my copy is very much what was meant to be my teacher's copy that I made myself. Anything you need help with I'd love to help.

Good 0and bad news on my rare collectible version that is a leatherbound edition from Franklin Library. The good is that it came and is one of the most beautiful books I have, and the bad is that it says Faust on the side, BUT it's not the entire story. There are two parts to faust and this just have part one. wtf is up with that? The editor made a pamphlet to go along with the book and tried to discredit part two as inferior. The climax is in part two, the whole epic ending that wraps everything up is in part two, faust teaching Helen of Troy how to write poetry is in part two, the eternal feminine is in part two, the old couple that worship the old gods are in part two. :/

The first part is basically the tragedy of Gretchen which helped me cope with my psychosis and my shame I felt because of what I put my professors through. :/ It's good, but it's just half the story. If a book says Faust on it it should have the entire story.

Pathetic. :/

I finally got my leatherbound version of Goethe's Faust I wanted for so very long. It's in old English which is interesting. The translation is very nice, it's the only other major translation I haven't read yet. I'm relieved that it also has numbered lines so when I write in it.

My roommate was floored when I told her I was preprared to annotate it. She thinks that depreciates it, but I want my annotated hardcovers to be past done in the family. My great grandmother passed down one of her books to me and her handwriting is all over it. I love that persional touch. Also, you really do need a guide to understand a lot of the books I annotate.
