finished Emil Cioran's The Trouble with Being Born . A book of aphorisms by an insomniac depressive.

My fav :"He is incapable of assimilating Evil. He acknowledges its existence, but cannot incorporate it into his mind. If he were to emerge from hell he would be oblivious of his whereabouts, so remote is he in his thinking from what falls afoul. . . . Not the faintest trace of all he has endured in his ideas. Occasionally he has reflexes—no more than that—the reflexes of a wounded man. Yet more than one of his gestures reveals a demonic spirit—demonic unawares. He is a destroyer obscured and sterilized by Good."

Death of the West by Patrick Buchanan

Boring book, could not get through it fast enough. Only took a few days though because it's so breezy
