loneliness in crowd: I'm actually here, I feel lonely, much more lonelier than often, although I'm not actually being isolated. I meet people, I speak with them, I kiss them, and even I dream them, but all in all, I feel that I've become isolated from them. It's not really bad in its own, the biggest problem is that I'm not sure what should I do: continue this way or try to forget my loneliness and interact with people more.

but if you want to know why it is better to shake your hand that way, you must take some course in nonlinear analysis, fluid mechanics, nonlinear control, chaos and bifurcation and something alike! So, don't ask me why (I don't know exactly too!), but do that. Oh ... before going, I should mention that if you want to wash your clothes with hand, move your hands chaotically - it works the same!

Yesterday I went to international book fair with my lovely Parisa. It is the second time I have gone there this year – such as most previous years. The first time was on Tuesday that I could visit national visitors part. This time I’ve decided to visit the international publishers too, though I wasn’t expect to find any good book suitable for me. Anyway I couldn’t buy anything as when we wanted to go to that salon, they closed the door! Thus I bought nothing last day and everything I have bought are from my first visit. Nevertheless yesterday was joyful due to being with Parisa. I cannot express my feelings about her, specially in this language. Before going on, it would be worthy to write up what I have bought:
1. Feminism by Jane Freedman which is from Open university press, 2001. As I wrote before I consider men and women equal in law and as I think they are not the same creatures but believe that both of them are worthy. In spite of that, I have behaved these two creatures almost the same, specially when it is of mental tasks (I cannot deny that I behave more pleasant with girls anyway). But the time have tried to change my mind. I’ve experienced something which showed that I wouldn’t behave that much the same. Anyway, I called myself Feminist for a while and by reading this book I want to have a better knowledge of what exactly is going on in this post-modernistic movement.
2. The logic of Scientifically Discovery by Karl Popper. The book I heard from in The history of 20th century philosophy last year.
3. An Introduction to Modern Logic by Zia Movahhed. Logic is not a new area to me, but reading a book specially written for analytical philosophy is not bad.
4. Humanistic Usage of Humans – Cybernetics and Society by Norbert Wiener. It is an old text for cybernetics and may not show the correct trends of cybernetics and its usage but it is written by Wiener and I want to have a book from him!
5. Political Philosophers of Twentieth Century by Michael H. Lessnoff. I have been eager to know about philosophical aspects of politics for a long time (and I think this is the only subject worth spending time in politics – its philosophical backgrounds) and I know nothing about it. This might be a good book to read.
6. Theories of Value and Distribution since Adam Smith – Ideology and Economy by Maurice Dobb. A book I don’t know exactly what it is about but I think it may give me some ideas about market – the subject I may involve as a way of task allocation.
7. Idea of Phenomenology by Edmund Husserl.
8. Pragmatism by William James.
9. Difficulties of Love. This book is a collection of American short stories which were elected as winner in some contests in recent years. There are short stories from John Edgar Wideman, Allan Gurganus, Claire Davis, Peter Baida, Chitra Divakaruni, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Alice Monro and Katherine Shonk. It is the shame that I haven’t read a story from any of them yet! The main reason for this problem is this: there is no book from them in this country (If there is any good person who would give me a book from these writers (or anybody else who I do not know which is not a short list anyhow) as a gift, I would be very happy! May I have a wishlist here).
10. a short story collection from The Garden Party and Bliss and the other stories from Catherine Mansfield (not sure about spelling). I haven’t heard from her before!
11. On Materialistic Evolution of History by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. I have become curious to know what exactly (as exactly as he wanted!) this guy was talking about – just this!
These are the books I bought! The only thing I need here is a time to read them, what a worthy being, what a rare being!
