Yeah. One thing I didn't mention, is that I generally will spend 6 - 8 months or more on a book. I'm not always in the right state of mind to read, and often I can spend a really long time on one passage. I don't really see finishing the book as a goal, just to peel back the layers and try as hard as possible to understand the depth.

For some reason German philosophy has always caught my thought process. It started with Nietzsche, and then went outward from there.
