Pages read March 2025

My total pages read for March was 893.

I finished Plato’s Five Dialogues comprising Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno and Phaedo.

I also read Luc Ferry’s A Brief History of Thought. I first read it in 2019 and noted then that I only took in or understood around 30% of the book. This time I would estimate I understood around 70% of the work - but that was 90% of the first four chapters, dwindling to around 50% (or less!) for the final two chapters on Nietzsche and then post deconstruction.

I continued reading Flannery O’Connor’s Complete Stories and will continue to do so until complete.

I also commenced Chuck Swindoll’s Strengthening Your Grip which I first read 20-30 years ago. This time I have put it aside for the time being.

I also commenced Simon Blackburn’s Think - a sort of philosophy primer. I’m not finding it to be an easy read!
