Socrates Meets Sartre: The Father Of Philosophy Meets The Founder of Existentialism
By Peter Kreeft
see related
So I spent my first week as a working doctor, not working much, and mostly figuring out how to kill roaches around our new little cottage. Five poison smoke bombs were detonated last night and, so far, there are no survivors. Betsy and I both have intense roach phobias reaching all the way back into our childhoods... now we've got to stay strong for our own daughter. Yikes.

I read Kreeft's entire 'Socrates Meets' series in about a month. Socrates meets Machiavelli, Sartre, Descartes, and Marx. I've never devoured so many books so fast. Socrates Meets Hume comes out later this summer, and for the first time ever, I've known about a book, and waited for it to be released. The series is fantastic because it not only trains you in genuine analytic skills, but also seriously engages the modern thinker and exposes the reader in detail to the classic they wrote.

Peter Kreeft is amazing. You should listen to some of his podcasts, also very good.

You looking forward to the new Thrice album, "Beggars", coming out in October?

I hope you get rid of all the cockroaches! I have issues with all bugs, but especially spiders. Then again, I'll throw an equal hissy fit for cockroaches and scorpions. There's a plethora of all of them in the area where we live, so we have an exterminator. At least then, we don't see bugs except for a few dead and or dying ones. There was a mouse-sized cockroach in our kitchen sink a few Sundays ago. I get up way before my husband on church days, and had to drag his butt out of bed to remove the dying monstrosity.


All the best in your new doctoring job!
