So I remember I was rattling away about my literary interests in philosophy and social justice without realising that they're likely to be unfamiliar subjects for most people. A few days after the exchange commenced, my Santa took the effort to orangered me, explaining that he/she took a while to understand my interests (my apologies!) and wanted to find out more so that he/she can get the appropriate books.

Fast forwarding to the future or rather 2 days ago over the wkend, the package arrived! I opened the box and was delighted to find not one but three books:

(1) An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding by David Hume (2) One World by Peter Singer (3) The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin

I'm really touched by the thoughtful selection of books - An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding by Hume was a book that was highly regarded by one of my favorite philosophers Immanuel Kant. I've not read Hume yet so this will be a gd book to begin!

One World by Peter Singer - on the ethics of globalisation. Absolutely stoked to read this too! Singer is my favourite modern philosopher and I love reading anything by him and especially on new / experimental ideas on the world today and its future.

The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin is just a genius choice! When I was reading about Utilitarianism in political philosophy, I was introduced to a short story by Le Guin titled "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas". She is a writer who addresses philosophical themes in her novels in sci-fi and futuristic world which is a premise I absolutely adore! I've not read any of her novels yet other than the short story, so I'm really excited to read this!!!

Thank you Santa for being brilliantly thoughtful. I love all the books!
