Sapere Aude: Book buy binge

Doheny just got downgraded, Macs are gone, replaced by HP, and need assistance to log in -_- Worse than USD library let alone Payson!

Huh, Firefox is pretty good(So USC switched from Safari to Firefox)

Recently succumbed to book buying, of course most of them cheap, via Amazon used books sections;

Interested in reading Zola, Freud/Jung, and Isaiah Berlin.

Novels;

Euripides. Cyclops. Alcestis. Medea (Loeb Classical Library No. 12)

Euripides

Recently struggled with Medea in original ancient Greek, and rediscovered it(read it years ago in English), quite interesting.

The Belly of Paris (Oxford World's Classics)

Emile Zola

As I said, exploring Zola! Naturalistic novels that delves into harsh Capitalist society of France. And don't we all love OUP's recent bookcover design :)

The Ladies' Paradise (Oxford World's Classics)

Zola, Émile

Current UK TV version is pretty popular, I heard.

The Kill (Oxford World's Classics)

Zola, Émile

Pot Luck (Oxford World's Classics)

Zola, Émile

Thérèse Raquin (Oxford World's Classics)

Nana (Oxford World's Classics)

La Bête Humaine (Oxford World's Classics)

The Red and the Black (Penguin Classics)

Stendhal

I actually have in Franklin library leather bound edition, but heard Gard is the best translator.

And recently read that this book explores France's Grand dilemma, Catholicism vs Republicanism

Journey of the Dead (Pushkin Collection)

Augieras, FranCois

Found at UCLA library, eccentric travelogue, interesting.

History

From Giotto to Cezanne: A Concise History of Painting (World of Art)

Levey, Michael

Art history! I think I discovered Levey from reading Kenneth Clark's

Landscape into Art (Icon Editions) by Kenneth Clark (Oct 1, 1979).

Also heard Levey writes quite engagingly, so looking forward to it.

The Thirty Years War: Europe's Tragedy

Wilson, Peter H.

Read it before, but want to have it and peruse it from time to time, such a complex background, this one.

Spain: A Unique History

Payne, Stanley G.

Read it but want to reread it from time to time, although Payne is pro-Franco, he's a noted scholar.

This is more like an historical essay.

The Course of German History: A Survey of the Development of German History since 1815 (Routledge Classics)

Taylor, A.J.P.

Taylor's bombastic denunciation of Germany's sonderweg lol, it does get tiresome but nevertheless a good read.

When The World Spoke French (New York Review Books Classics)

Fumaroli, Marc

Yes, I'm in a French Mood lol, also read it before, but NYRB Classics are always worth having.

The Imaginary Revolution: Parisian Students and Workers in 1968 (International Studies in Social History)

Seidman, M.

Etc.

H.L. Mencken: Prejudices: The Complete Series (Library of America)

Mencken, H.L.

Really wanted to buy this for a long time after finishing Mencken's bio, so why not.

V. S. Pritchett Complete Collected Essays

Pritchett, V.S.

Another Essay compilation, for literature. Was pretty impressed with all those entries when I borrowed, so why not buy it and enjoy from time to time :)
