PHILOSOPHY

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently reading the Plague by Albert Camus and The Insanity Defense by Woody Allen (short stories). I usually like to read two or three books at a time, non-stop, when i travel, and then not read at all at home , because its hard to find time... also hard to find time for movies. Music, though, there is always time for. Currently listening to Bloc Party;
