Hallo!
Ich hab gesehen, dass du in Wien lebst. Bin ganz neu hier und dachte mir, es fehlt noch eine Gruppe mit Wiener Shelfari-Usern. Habe also eine gegründet, die ist aber noch ganz "leer". vielleicht magst du dich ja dazugesellen?

Wow, we do have a lot of interests (and books, and authors, and a hometown) in common.
Just out of interest, on which one of them did you find me? And which ones I don't already have would you recommend me?

;)

I'd love to know what you think about Cioran. I was in love with his essays when I was a teenager and it would be interesting to see how an adult perceives his ideas.

Tip: The books he wrote in French are better than the ones written in Romanian.;)

You might find some Eugen Ionescu (or Ionesco) in English (you can certainly find his plays in French), Emil Cioran (since you like philosophy), maybe Mircea Cartarescu (contemporary writer) and, of course, Mihai Eminescu, our national poet.

Btw, if you enjoyed reading Marquez, you should also try Jose Saramago. He is really good!

You can find a pretty good book review at: http://www.ams.org/notices/200604/rev-kennedy.pdf

Goldstein's 'Incompleteness' uses more popular language than any of the other books on Gödel I've read (Maybe comparable to Yourgrau's 'A world without time). The most interesting thing about the book is that Goldstein defends the position that Gödel's theorems were misinterpreted by postmodernists to show that there is no such thing as truth, while Gödel was a Platonist and believed that mathematical truth is attainable. It makes for an interesting read. I used it and Dawson's 'Logical Dilemmas' as research material for a short film I wrote "Gödel". It was finished earlier this year and was shown at the Munich International Student Film Festival this Monday. The director is trying to get it selected for Austrian Filmfestivals. Robert Stuc played Gödel, Andrea Nürnberger played Adele. In it Gödel is perturbed by the realization his surroundings are a filmset.

Hi, Tyrannio. Thanks for adding me to your friends list! We have much to discuss. Today is CRAZY for me, but I certainly will have time over the next few days to share and opine a bit. Talk to you soon!

Hi Tyrannio,
Thank you for extending your offer of shelfarian friendship. While I love to share books, generally I have found that the focus and breadth of my reading interests have been unlike anyone else's that I've encountered. I had the uncanny experience today of perusing your shelf and finding many books that are also on my shelf, many others that I have read or own but had not yet posted, and still others that I had never heard of and looked quite interesting.

I must admit that I found this both unsettling and exciting at the same time. Isn't it strange how the universe works?

i wouldn't actually call it twisted early 20th-century racism but possibly a lack of understanding. i do think it is worth a read more so for the reasons of aesthetics and indulgence in wabisabi. although, in the end, it's all a matter of taste. :}

You're welcome. =) Yes I think the new edition of the book is a bit more complete. I think I should get the new one too. Goodluck with the building. =)
