Over time, we became less human and more... divine.

My hobbies include not having enough time to read all of philosophical canon and therefore making do by piecing together the very compelling explanations of redditors with casual essays, bursts of reading the philosophers that are my actual target readings in order to prime my brain for accepting them, marathon powering through an entire text once in a blue moon, stepping back, reading some Nietzsche, reading unrelated fiction/nonfiction, and then again re-tackling the whole heap of processes.

 

Aka my endgoal is actually rather facetious. It's to be able to get through a book called The Penetrated Male. But to understand that book, I need to be more comfortable with Foucault, Derrida, and D&G. But to understand those on a deeper level than what their texts and reddit can provide, I need to dig further into Saussure, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer. But to really dig into all the aforementioned motherfuckers, I feel I need to at least tangentially understand Kant, Hegel, and a whole array of other bastards, but that's way beyond my patience, and usually delegated to skimming brief overviews. AND ALL OF THIS WOULD BE REALLY GREAT AND EASY IF PHILOSOPHY WAS MY PRIMARY HOBBY, OR AT LEAST ONE OF THREE MAIN HOBBIES. But it's just one hobby out of twenty and probably not even in the top five.

 

 

Also if anyone loves Shakespeare and can recommend specific editions, that would be amazing. I want to read some tragedies with good explanations, discussions, contemporary translations, or an introduction, and really get a good grip on his work and language. I think I found some good recs online, but I'm always skeptical. Also going to be reading Paradise Lost finally. 
Can you tell I'm trying to finally stop being a weenie and tackle writing LoK fanfic?

If you're wondering, yes, yes I have completely set aside all my plans for reading about economics and state-sanctioned discipline for the time being. Typical.
