Introducing Wittgenstein   John Heaton and Judy Groves
Very good, brief introduction to Wittgenstein’s thought, especially the Tractatus and Philosophical Investigations, his two most important works. Well explained. I’ve never been a big fan of Wittgenstein, but he has to be dealt with. Glad for the review.

Bartleby the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street   Herman Melville
Beautifully written novella about a law clerk who “would prefer not to.” In past readings, it was tinged with humor, but this time it just seemed sad, for everyone. Really enjoyed Melville’s exquisite prose.
