Country of Exiles William Leech

Poetics of Place Gaston Bachelard
Honestly one of the most gorgeous books I have ever read.

Between Good and Evil Rudiger Safranski

Sandra Boynton's Board Books (with my three year old!)


BTW: We read O'Connor's "The Displaced Person" in a class I teach. I dig her work.

I also am a philosophy student, but one of those phenomenologists. Although I do have a hefty Russell shelf I hope to look into this year.
