Libraries closed for the federal holiday, so just surviving the day. As per usual practice, secured a vade mecum before the doors closed, Carnap's first book. Slogged a hundred pages in before realizing that the entire work was defining the vocabulary of the proposed system, so there was at least a hundred pages of mental focus. Dropped it off on the way to a sbux impossible to justify vis a vis the budget except as a last-ditch gambit to avoid the onset of indelible madness. (Seems to have worked.)
Equivocated between Carnap and Dame Francis Yates when I was in the shelves. Clearly should have gone with the non-Vienna-circle option.
Part of the frustration is the abysmal battery life on the Kindle; forces one to budget the e-reading time.
