Well, one of the many reasons of the holidays is I get lots of books.
Here is what I have gotten so far:
Non-fiction:
Ernst H. Kantorowicz - The King's Two Bodies
Maurice Merleau-Ponty - Nature: Course Notes from the Collège de France
Jacques Derrida et al. - Ghostly Demarcations
Ralph R. Acampora - Corporal Compassion: Animal Ethics and Philosophy of Body
EDIT: Theodor Adorno - Minima Moralia: Reflections on a Damaged Life
Christian Marazzi - Capital and Language: From the New Economy to the War Economy
Fiction:
Matt Ruff - Bad Monkeys
Victor Pelevin - The Sacred Book of the Werewolf
Austin Grossman - Soon I Will Be Invincible
Warren Ellis - Crooked Little Vein
Anyway, I am sure there are more on the way. But anyone else get good books, or interesting stuff? Or just good winter break/holiday stories?
If so, post them.
The agony of the rat or the slaughter of a calf remains present in thought not through pity but as the zone of exchange between man and animal in which something of one passes into the other. - Deleuze and Guattari, What Is Philosophy?
