I'm reading Camera Lucida, by Barthes.
Every once in a while I read a difficult book, each one of them for a different reason. This time I have two: I deals with the Photography (it's become my top hobby), and it was recommended by one of the biggest influences in my life.
For people familiar with philosophy readings, this one might be a piece of cake (some parts ARE a piece of cake), but for me, with a background in engineering, it's a beast to tame. Still, I'm loving this ride into Barthes' mind.
Previously I read Barthes for beginners, and I enjoyed it thoroughly, just as I've enjoyed every title from the "for beginners" collection I've read: Foucault, Zen, and Derrida.
