After having just finished reading both The Following Story and Haroun and the Sea of Stories I'm interested to see what we will discuss in Friday's class. The theme of the eternal return was constantly on my mind as I read through the novels. I felt both books made an interesting commentary on the epistemology of existence. Socrates and Haroun both had to decide for themselves what was real and controllable and what was not. I believe I would be more like Haroun if I was thrown into a similar situation, I would ask less questions and live more in the moment, unlike Socrates. I would try to embrace my existence and not try to figure out what it means, because as I've learned many times even the biggest questions in life will always be unanswered, life's a garden so dig it man.
