Re: Whatcha Reading, FS?

[dreemyweird]

Am midway through Novalis' 'Heinrich von Ofterdingen', about two-thirds into Elizabeth Gaskell's 'North and South', almost done with a small obscure book on Lobachevsky's geometry, just began reading Stuart Kauffman's 'At Home in the Universe'. Also, am rereading ACD's 'Memories and Adventures'.

(yes, I'm very much a Hercule Poirot kind of reader).

Novalis is a ridiculous Romantic who makes me laugh all the time. I can't take him seriously for the life of me.

Gaskell's very clever - and hers is one of these rare romances where every character actually has clear motivations and a personality - but I have my... reservations about her work, as I've said in the thread about fandom annoyances.

Lobachevsky's geometry is really interesting, although it doesn't feel as groundbreaking to me as it probably should. I guess that's the way it is when you've always lived in a world where non-Euclidean geometries are a thing.

Stuart Kauffman's eagerness to apply his theories of self-organization to literally everything and possibly to validate the existence of religions with the help of these theories strikes me as really pathetic, but he's a clever guy and he brings up great points.

And ACD, well. Is his ACD self <33
