The Light of Other Days by Arthur C Clarke December 30, 2008
Posted by Eugene Aronsky in : book reviews , add a commentIf you are a fan of science fiction, philosophy, or alternative visions of the future then you will really enjoy this book. This is a very well written sci fi book that provides a very interesting view into a world with no privacy (a world that we are slowly becoming). This book is not a dystopia, but it does provide a rather different version of the future than many would like.
The Prince by Machiavelli December 30, 2008
Posted by Eugene Aronsky in : book reviews , add a commentAs a philosophy major, I was required to read many books, most were long, boring, and in no way applied to my life, or the life of anyone I knew. Among these volumes there were a few gems, The Prince being the biggest diamond in the patch. In fewer than 100 pages Machiavelli managed to write a book that has influenced ever politician, and every business leader. This book is short, concise, and to the point, I believe that everyone should read this book at least once, and if you are planning to be a leader then I suggest memorizing its pages.

The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D’oh! of Homer, by William Irwin, Mark T. Conard and Aeon J. Skoble December 16, 2008
Posted by Eugene Aronsky in : book reviews , add a commentI have been a fan of the Simpsons for years, and when I was studying philosophy as an undergraduate I ran across this book. This is perhaps not the most concise philosophical text ever written, but it is very interesting, and provides a unique glimpse at philosophy. If you are looking for a present to give to a Simpsons fan, or if, surprisingly enough, you are looking for an interesting book on Aristotle, this book is for you.
