Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

But human reality can make being appear as organized totality in the
world only by surpassing being. All determination for Heidegger is sur­
passing since it supposes a withdrawal taken from a particular point of
view. This passing beyond the world, which is a condition of the very
rising up pf the. world' as such, is effected by the Dasein which directs
tht:'surpassing towarditseIf. The characteristic of selfness (Selbstheit) ,
irifact, is:that.'man is always separated from what he is by all the breadth
of the being which he is not. He makes himself known to himself from
the other sideofthe world and he looks from the horizon toward himself
to recover his inner being. Man is "a being of distances:' In the movement
of turning inward which traverses all of being, being arises :md organizes
itselfas the world without there being either priority of the movement
over the world, or the world over the movement. But this appearance of the self beyond the world-that is, beyond the totality of the real-is' an
emergence of "human reality" in nothingness. It is in nothingness alone
that being can be surpassed. At the same time it is from the point of view
of beyond the world that being is organized into the world, which means
on the one hand that human reality rises up as ~n emergence of being
in non-being and on the other hand that the world is "suspended" in
nothingness. Anguish is the discovery of this double, perpetual nihila­
tion. It is in terms of this surpassing of the world that Dasein manages
to realize the contingency of the world; that is, to raise the question, "How
does it happen that there is something rather than nothing?" Thus the
contingency of the world appears to human reality in so far as human
reality has established itself in nothingness in order to apprehend the
contingency.

lemme kno

and The Grapes Of Wrath

god

probably gonna read this next year. was really impressed by his writing in Go Ahead In The Rain, his book about A Tribe Called Quest

definitely check that one out

Hell yea im checking out all his s***. every page so far been a gem.

Master and Margarita hands down. Been searching for a copy for the last couple of years, finally said f*** it and ordered it online and boy oh boy was it worth the wait.

Also finally got around to 2666, also great.

As for recently released books, I really really loved Karen Russell’s Orange World. Great horror tinged short story collection.

My favorite was Patricia Highsmith's Strangers on a Train.

I've read this this year also!

Savages by Don Winslow.

Finished it in day. Completely hooked me from the start.

Based on a True Story by Norm MacDonald
