Thanks for checking. It's just like a Swede to stop in the middle.

I like reading books from my grandfather's eclectic contemporaneous collection of intelligent but not heavy books. It gives a feel for how thought evolved that can't be found by only reading the major or latest works.

Here's one on my desk - Adventure's of the Mind from The Saturday Evening Post(1960), Intro by M. Van Doren, articles by Paul Tillich, Aaron Copland, Hans Selye, A. Huxley, W. Gropius, Clement Greenberg and others.

Lindbom is just the sort of book my grandfather would have picked up.

That's just the sort of stuff I'm always dragging home for a dollar from the secondhand stores. Sometimes a total bust but often I find at least one gem.
