Today we kicked off this semester’s first reading group. This semester we’re still continuing with Foucault’s *The Order of Things*; newcomers joining in midway should not be a problem either. After a few rounds of Foucault, we may consider switching books. Possible candidates include Kant’s *Critique of Judgment*, *Critique of Pure Reason*, and Hegel’s *Phenomenology of Spirit*, or we might recommend some other books instead.
This year’s reading group is set for Saturday afternoons. Today we started at 5 p.m.; from next time on, it may switch to 3 p.m. The plan is to read first, then eat, and then have some entertainment (board games or tabletop RPGs).
Happy news: today a fresh-faced new undergraduate joined us. Other students who are interested are welcome to sign up and join at any time.
We’re a rather casual reading group, with eating as the main thing (usually I treat everyone and order takeout; occasionally I make hot pot myself and so on), entertainment as a supplement, and reading as something we do as well. We don’t make a big fuss about it, and there’s no need to come every time either.
