Too many books – a givaway
I am now faced with an aesthetic dilemma – I have too many books and not enough will-power to stop buying more. The solution to the problem was to decrease the number of books I had so that I could keep up my addiction to dead trees. So first I used BookCrossing to release a bunch of books into the wild. Ten books, almost all in Swedish, but this was not enough
So now I am announcing a book givaway. I will send you any of the following books just tell me which you want in the comments below:
Collins & Makowsky (1998) The Discovery of Society (6th ed)
Robert Graves (1981) The Greek Myths vol 1 & 2
David Ariel (1988) The Mystic Quest
Wittgenstein (1961) Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
John Allen Paulos (2000) I Think Therefore I Laugh
Sean Lang (1999) Parliamentary Reform 1785-1928
Stephen Gray (2001) The Artist is a Thief
Will Kymlicka (1995) Multicultural Citizenship
Hegel’s Political Writings (1998)
Mary Midgley (1991) Wisdom, Information & Wonder: What is knowledge for?
Giordano Bruno (1995) The Ash Wednesday Supper
How lucky am I ! I’m deeply interested in “The mystic quest” by David S Ariel and “I think therefore I laugh” by John Allen Paulos.
