Just Read

I just read 151 pages of the book "Freud" by Jonathan Lear in order to get to his discussion of the death instinct, only to find that Lear thinks that the concept of death instinct is a fundamental error in Freud's thinking. Which is neither here nor there in terms of what I want to use it for (part of the novel), still it is dissapointing. All this "research" was, in a sense, a diversion from having to write anything.

Still the book was good.
