I spent the day today literally clearing my desk, throwing away papers I don't need and creating order out of chaos. I'm also (like many millions of others in the midst of the financial crisis) trying to get control of my budget and even trying to exercise more. Wise people think alike, it seems. All the best, Tom Dear Harvey,

Dear Hannes,

Those are three good resolutions! I spent the day today literally clearing my desk, throwing away papers I don’t need and creating order out of chaos. I’m also (like many millions of others in the midst of the financial crisis) trying to get control of my budget and even trying to exercise more. Wise people think alike, it seems.

All the best,
Tom

I made three resolutions myself: 1) to clear my desk (including finishing essays on Herbert Spencer and Jean-Jacques Rousseau; 2) to stop spending beyond my means, 3) to lose some extra kilos the traditional way, by exercising more and reducing my food intake (not going on a diet).

And if you're ever in Baltimore, give me a shout. I forgot to mention that lovegermanbooks is a wonderful website for discussions on German books. And if you’re ever in Baltimore, give me a shout.

Palmer Sun, 03 Jan 2010 03:24:48 +0000 http://tomgpalmer.com/?p=4546#comment-17895 That's very kind! I've got plenty of good German books to read, so no need on that score, but I will look into the Clive James book. (I'm also fond of Stefan Zweig, but not enthusiastic about him.) I just found James's essay on one of my favorite writers, Jorge Luis Borges, on Slate, so I'll start with that. Thanks! Tom That’s very kind!

You might also want to dip into Clive James' "Cultural Amnesia." He's fond of Alfred Polgar, Egon Friedell, Marcel Reich-Ranicki, and Stefan Zweig , just to name a few.
