Anticipation

Ok, so maybe there is a difference between the old edition owned by a philosopher who liked Bloch and penciled notes in the text and a new copy in paperback:

http://www.amazon.com/Werke-20-B%C3%A4nden-ein-Registerband/dp/3518097180/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_cart_1

But I am anticipating its arrival non the less. Where on my shelf will I put this? Perhaps in the office?

Wish list

Had an interesting eye opening experience several weeks ago at Title Wave Books when I found a new complete set of Kant's works for $19.95 - all six volumes for that! I confess when I went to the counter it was initially to see if they were really going to charge that for the whole set or per book! When the clerk said it was the whole price I could not help myself. So then I figured - I ought to start reading it. So far I made it through the biography and started the first Critique. Hey! It is not bad. I am managing and find I am following it. So I became curious and checked the Consortium and sure enough the edition they have is different but it is there. So is the complete set of Fichte's work. But for Hegel? Nada. Nichts on the pommfritz. So had a look at Amazon:
Sämtliche Werke: Jubiläumsausgabe 
Now that would be an interesting set for the library to have! But how do I get them to buy it?

Meanwhile. Donna took pity on me and let me order the paperback set - 20 Banden for $349! No kidding. The odd thing was she would not let me order that for my birthday but insisted it would be for Father's Day. (In other words she already has something for August.) So within 12 business days I should have it - and be wondering what to do with it.

Reading in the sun

Except today so far is not as sunny as it has been! So I shiver out on the deck with Aristotle for awhile then retreat into the house for something to eat and read E.D. Hirsch or stop in the garage (my office) to check if there are any new emails. A radio is playing KLEF in both places.
