Dry November: Day 17

An extremely busy weekend. Lots of reading and writing. Dinner at Barrafina, houseparty last night, café, cocktail bar, and dinner today, offered booze at every turn. I managed to stay dry, though tonight I had a non-alcoholic beer. It did satisfy some part of the ritual, made it feel less of a privation to be out with people who are drinking.

Meanwhile my reading list grows ever longer, from other avenues. Marcuse, Fromm, Nagel, Hegel, Heidegger, Haugeland, Merleau-Ponty, more Schopenhauer, Kant. And that’s excluding the neuroscience and physics stuff I need to read before I can return to the novel.
