During the months of May and June I have strictly allowed myself to think only about my 2 philosophy exams during my spare time. This means that I have only read stuff like Richard Rorty's Contingency, Irony and Solidarity (was quite good though) and that I had a pile of books staring at me from the shelves. They were my after-exam treats and now that the exams are over I am anxious to finish them all before the new academic year starts in October. Since I have discovered that I spend far too much money on books anyway, I plan to not allow myself not to buy anything new before these are finished.
The books are a combination of books about ethics (I plan to tackle a Master in Applied Ethics course next year in evening classes) and fiction.

I am currently reading:
*Animal Liberation, by Peter Singer
*Solaris, by Stanislaw Lem (NOTHING to do with the Operating System, but a brilliant SF book from 1970)

Here is an overview of what I plan to read:
*A Companion to Ethics, Edited by Peter Singer
*Birdsong, Sebastian Faulks
*Applied Ethics: A Reader, Edited by Jerrold R. Coombs and Earl Winkler
*Omega Minor, by Paul Verhaeghen (Dutch)
*Pleidooi voor een moraal der Dubbelzinnigheid, Simone de Beauvoir
*Animal Ethics Reader, Edited by Susan Armstrong and Richard Botzler
*Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, Roddy Doyle
