RIP Jacques Derrida. Without him, my grad school reading lists would have been a lot shorter. "Abstruse theorist," however, may be my new favorite obituary headline.

And speaking of philosophers, I think it is quite possible that I will be doing all of my Christmas shopping this year at the Unemployed Philosophers Guild. I mean, who wouldn�t want Nietzche�s �Will to Power� bar? Not for you? Perhaps you�d prefer a set of Dorothy Parker Martini Glasses? I myself, however, will be holding out for a Virginia Woolf doll

But enough pimping of unemployed philosophers and back to reading about deceased ones.
