What Is It

What philosophers, philosophies, or philosophical issues do you want to read up on over the summer?  Heidegger's Being and Time probably isn't the obvious choice to take on vacation, but there are a lot of readable, beach-friendly classics and non-classics to add philosophical depth to your vacation reading. Not to mention new and classic fiction books with a philosophical bent.  You are invited to join John and Ken to share some of the philosophically-minded reading on your reading list.
