Reading List

> http://thedescribe.wordpress.com/great-books-reader/

Following suit from David Driedger's list at the above address I would like to offer one of my own. Before the end of my life I would like to have taken the time to read the following books. The list, aside from Proust, is devoid of fictional works for the time being so please forgive the homogeneity.(In no particular order, and subject to continual updates)

Proust, In Search of Lost Time
Heidegger, Being and Time
Hegel, Phenomenology of Spirit
Badiou, Being and Event (Vol. 1 and 2)
Whitehead, Process and Reality
Lukacs, The Destruction of Reason
Jameson, Valences of the Dialectic
Wilber, Sex Ecology Spirituality
Osho, The Rajneesh Bible
Kojeve, Introduction to the Reading of Hegel
Kant, Critique of Pure Reason
Husserl, Logical Investigations (Vol. 1 and 2)
Stiegler, Technics and Time (Vol. 1-3)
Gadamer, Truth and Method
Ricoeur, Time and Narrative
Lyotard, Libidinal Economy
Derrida, Of Grammatology
Deleuze & Guattari, Capitalism and Schizophrenia (Vol. 1 and 2)
Marx, Capital (Vol. 1-3)
Foucault, History of Madness
Girard, Violence and the Sacred
Guattari, Machinic Unconscious
Adorno, Negative Dialectics
Findlay, Meinong's Theory of Objects
Priest, In Contradiction
Sloterdijk, Spheres (Vol. 1-3)
Fichte, The Science of Knowledge
Deleuze, Logic of Sense

Mostly these are books that are on my shelf or kobo, and that I am particularly excited about. Hopefully I'll be able to scratch off Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit in the coming week.

Any recommendations or suggestions?

While it is hard to justify something just released in light of such a list I would say that given your interests you should probably bump Barber's work recommended by Melanie up the ladder. I will hopefully have a review of it prepped in maybe a month.
