This is my reading list. It is organized and compiled as a rough timeline to help me visualize and ‘triangulate’ a better understanding of how all the pieces connect across time, cultures, and traditions. This list is surely error-ridden, only quasi-chronological, and under continual revision. (I now mostly add new titles as I read them.) Feel free to suggest additions or corrections in the comments. Book of the Dead. 8216;Nine Lyric Poets’. Archilochus, Alcman, Mimnermus, Anacreon, Simonides, etc.

James Shelley (Short Bio)

http://jamesshelley.com/author/jamesshelley

I produce a blog. About social, political, and philosophical ideas. I have chronic obsession with history and classical literature. And I am presently writing a book about the ways that our perception of the past influence our choices and priorities in the present. I am also a research centre. Freelancer, and part-time fitness instructor. Adventures in Second-Guessing the Obvious. On What if Twitter was a State-Owned Enterprise? On Dear Jim Jefferies, Can We Talk About Your Rape Jokes?

Literary Innovation (or lack thereof) | Writtle

https://writtle.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/innovation-or-lack-thereof

The place to come for all things literature. Literary Innovation (or lack thereof). Posted on December 19, 2011. What do I have to offer? I can’t decide whether it is enough to contribute to the already amazing body of Canadian literature we have, or if I need to have an innovative idea in order for me to be fulfilled. I saw Kyra Harris. Former host of Poetry Slam London, speak at one of City Symposium. But what about my own writing? Producing anything different than them? Do I have anything new to say?

A Library as a Timeline

http://jamesshelley.com/2015/07/28/a-library-as-a-time

A Library as a Timeline. Jul 28,2015 / By James Shelley. On bringing a semblance of historical chronology to a personal reading list. This basically started as a spreadsheet to help me keep my centuries straight, but it has grown into a hybrid of a reading record, ‘to read’ list, and snapshot of history. This tool remains under constant revision, and is nowhere close to complete. (Not that ‘completing’ such a project is even remotely possible in one lifetime! I produce a blog. You may also like.
