I have been [meekly] reading and greatly enjoying your [dangerous] posts for the past few months(or was it aeons?). Have you yet cast your brooding eyes upon Josef Pieper’s book: Leisure: The Basis of Culture?

It is an excellent book and I beg your Lordship to take it into consideration, though the words of a worm have so little weight. (I have been reading your blog WAAAAYYY to long!) 🙂

I have read Pieper, but not that book. I’ve heard great things about it! I will try to check it out one of these days!

Here are a few Pieperesque reflections I’ve scribbled in the past.
