Last comp exam... only 15 books to go... ugggghhhhh

Comp exam 1 is done, so onwards to comp exam 2

Thought this would take me a lot longer to get through, but Bonhoeffer just has such an engaging style that it's hard to put the thing down.

Audited a theological method seminar this term and the last couple books I added were the one's I completed fully. Tough reads and definitely don't agree with everything, but really interesting and helpful overall.

Staring at a list of 45 books for my comprehensive exams and I think I might die from this but at least I'll get my goodreads reading challenge done.

"...the search for demand mandates a proliferation of specialized products (for example, bottled water for dogs or gourmet coffee beans recovered from Sumatran luwak dung). Footnote: Unfortunately, I'm not making these up."

Lol

"The institutions of civil society - the party, the union, the school, the corporation, the Church, the prison - have an educative or disciplinary function which realizes the state project.... The hyperpatriotism of unions (and churches) during wartime illustrates this." Pg. 78

*sigh* gonna have to read "Discipline and Punish" after this.
