Finishing Foucault this month and discussing it with my philosophy group. Finishing up Holderlin whereupon I will write a brief essay on his poetry. Thence, I am going to read another Byung-Chul Han book and Fitzgerald's last novel "The Last Tycoon." Upon completion, I am going to begin Charles Dickens' David Copperfield, Dante's Inferno, and Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. 3/5/26

Und schwer zu fassen der Gott
Wo aber Gefahr ist, wächst
