might as well ask "Is there anything I should read before I read "The Waste Land?"

science has moved into or is moving into all the realms metaphysics once occupied.

philosophy is for people who haven't yet found a reliable measure for what they're studying.

so I decide I would pick up a book, and then get a drink while I read it.

I narrowed my choices down between Gravity's Rainbow and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim.

I went with Sedaris.

One Day, I will finally read it.
