What have you been reading lately? Everything counts, from the user's manual to the back of the cereal box!

I'm so stressed at the moment that I'm turning to online reading as reward, rather than paper, so the reading goals are also about 'make sure that I get some enjoyable down time'.

I'm intrigued about the Heidegger - if the reading was not the reward, what was it about it that was? I recognise that this is an overly nosy question, so please pretend I didn't ask it if you don't want to engage.

Coursework first, and then writing a paper to show that Heidegger's criticisms of Kant were based on his misunderstanding certain aspects of Kant's position.

Ah, that makes sense. I had remembered about you and Kant, but didn't know how that fit in with Heidegger. 'Reading so I can comment with authority' as a goal seems perfectly reasonable.
