Book 60 - Henry Jacoby "House and Philosophy"

Henry Jacoby - "House and Philosophy :Everybody Lies" (J.Wiley)




Students of philosophy and fans of House alike are sure to relish this analysis of the popular television series. While philosophy texts may leave readers cold, this book brings the work of Sartre, Nietzsche, and Socrates to life by applying them to America's crankiest doctor.

It is written at an introductory level for educated persons or undergraduates so you will not necessarily discover anything profound about philosophy but you will find an interesting application of philosophy about a hit TV show, in particular the acerbic, but in some ways lovable, Gregory House, M.D.

Bagels Anyone?

Two visits to do today,both in Maidstone, one being a non purchase visit,the other a pub grub and drink visit.

Weather is dry,slightly cloudy, so i hope it stays that way. In fact i was quite surprised that yesterday did stay fine ,at least up till late afternoon.

Thus morning i tried a bacon and egg bagel.I have these cinnamon and raisin bagels which were free when we had the Thursday free breakfast.There is always free stuff to pick up in the breakfast room and it is best to come early to avoid disappointment.

Next time i shall try some pastrami ham and piccalilli.

It was an interesting and nice combination

Unthanks

Finished my first visit in Maidstone and now having coffee of the day at Pret. The filer coffee they do is only a pound is usually very nice.
I also gave myself a treat for my persistence with the powers that be ..receiving that back payment.
I bought this -



On Amazon Prime it is £11.99 but i found it in HMV for £9.99.

Molly Drake is perhaps best known as the mother of Nick Drake, the uniquely talented, famously fragile and ill-fated songwriter whose three albums attained a status that quickly grew from cult to classic after his death in 1974. But what is less well-known is that Molly was a prolific songwriter and poet in her own right, at a time when that sort of thing was considered a pastime rather than a valid vocation for women. She was born in Rangoon in 1915 and spent much of her life abroad – much of her life’s path was dictated by British colonial activity in South Asia. In 1944, four years before Nick was born, Molly gave birth to a girl, Gabrielle. They have decided to have a go at the songs of Molly Drake. But this is no mere covers album. They have enlisted Gabrielle Drake – now in her seventies and with a long acting career behind her – to recite some of her mother’s poems.
