New Year's Resolutions...
Try to keep up with the ones I made last year.
Started reading 2 books while on the plane during my flight back from Texas: The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Aesop's Fables.
Aesop started becoming redundant after a while, and there were a lot of homosexual undertones even in the first 20 pages of Oscar Wilde's book. If there were less sex/feelings in that book, it would have been so much better. Good social commentary otherwise.
Some good quotes from the novel:
"...the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it will not be colored by either his wants, his desires, or his prejudices."
"It is only the intellectually lost who ever argue."
"...the great events of the world take place in the brain."
