@zacts @nadir But needed for comparative literature, for sure. I only wanted to go into it because my passion is for Western religious literature, and learning Hebrew/Greek would've been right in that wheelhouse. Maybe someday. Any other multi-cultural authors on your list?

@carrie @nadir Perhaps some Buddhist texts. I would especially be interested in Buddhist Logic.

@carrie @nadir But to be honest, I really have to get into the groove of improving my reading habits and heavily lessening social media. I have made huge progress with the Attic Greek, however.

@zacts @nadir I need to do that as well. The lure of social media has been keeping me from reading the way I used to. I used to be able to finish a book a day; now, I'm lucky if I finish one in a month simply because I don't make time. I have so many books I want to read and social media is just so vacuous, I really just need to apply myself.

@carrie @nadir I'm not going to completely eliminate social media. I'm only going to set vacations from it.

@zacts @nadir I'd completely eliminate it if I could, but like you, it's the only way to stay in touch with certain people.

@zacts In school we read a nice book. But i was young, perhaps now i would consider it crap: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_and_the_Art_of_Motorcycle_Maintenance

@carrie @nadir Personally, I would rather go for a couple of languages (which is my plan) and to really learn them well, so that I can really get deep into the surrounding cultural context and deep literature that makes these languages what they are. Language isn't just the language itself, but it is also the culture and literature surrounding the language.
