Hi folks,

I'm missing our class this semester; I hope you are all well.

I've just picked up and started reading Alain de Botton's How To Think More About Sex. I'd like to recommend this to you all. It's a short, easy read that picks up nicely on themes raised by Marcuse.

Botton has recently started The School of Life: 

The School of Life is a cultural enterprise offering good ideas for everyday life. We are based in Central London where we offer a variety of programmes and services concerned with how to live wisely and well. We address such questions as why work is often unfulfilling, why relationships can be so challenging, why it’s ever harder to stay calm and what one could do to try to change the world for the better.

The School of Life is a place to step back and think intelligently about these and other concerns. You will not be cornered by any dogma, but directed towards a variety of ideas - from philosophy to literature, psychology to the visual arts – that tickle, exercise and expand your mind. You’ll meet other curious, sociable and open-minded people in an atmosphere of exploration and enjoyment.

A wonderful idea for Erickson Hall, if you ask me.
