Philosophy 1: Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel

Yep, it all falls into place.

I also recommend de Beauvoir.

40 years young today. Has life been hard for me as of late? Yes. But as Camus said..
"My dear,
In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
I realized, through it all, that…
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.

Truly yours,
Albert Camus”
 
Wondering if I should do a deep dive on Kafka as well.

Though most things labeled as Kafkaesque really aren't Kafkaesque.

I recommend Nabokov over Kafka. "Cloud, Castle, Lake" is one of the best short stories I have ever read. Also Hesse, the novels Steppenwolf (for the heart) and The Glass Bead Game (for the head).
