The Rigor of Angels: Borges, Heisenberg, Kant, and the Ultimate Nature of Reality | William Egginton

pick

I was totally charmed by this category defying book. It‘s part biography (of 3 different people from 3 different interests and times) and part history of philosophy; it‘s a damn good read. I let it lead my imagination through space-time and beyond. Now I‘m obsessed with Borges. Such an excellent and inspiring book! ⏳ 🌌 📚

With Borges | Alberto Manguel

pick

When Alberto Manguel was 16 and working in a bookstore, he was asked by Jorge Luis Borges to read to him part-time. (Borges was blind by then.) No doubt his time with Borges was an important episode in one of the world's greatest bibliophile's life and this short work fills in a bit of what that experience was like. A smart incisive book for fans of both Borges and Manguel, and booklovers generally.

Just returned to work after a week off and flipped my calendar to August. This is one of my favorite book quotes of all time. 🥰

Amiable @kspenmoll Much of our town is out, but we managed to keep our power! How are you making out? 4y

kspenmoll @Amiable We still have no power & may not until Tuesday. But we found a hotel room 💕 4y

Amiable @kspenmoll Oh, that sucks about the power! But good that you found a hotel room—those are in scarce supply around here right now! 4y
