OT: Reading List

[HarryBosch]

Hot Blonde, I remember coming across that book a couple of times but somehow I missed reading it. It has an interesting premise and I’ll bet it is still a good read. I should get a library card again and check it out.

“In the book, Veblen argues that economic life is driven not by notions of utility, but by social vestiges from pre-historic times. Drawing examples from his time (turn-of-the-century America) and anthropology, he held that much of today’s society is a variation on early tribal life.”

In it’s social and historic context, it can seem a very complex academic study. But it became a lasting and popular work of a guy that could be difficult to understand. Anthropology, economics, sociology and psychology all made for a strange brew. But two social concepts popularized by this book have endured and those are the notions of “conspicuous consumption” and “pecuniary emulation”.
Both ideas seem to be relevant to the spirit of this board.

Hi Marion,

I just realized I never answered your question. We close on June 19th.

We probably wont move in until August, though. We plan to demo all the flooring and replace with handscraped maple on 1st flr, recarpet upstairs, repaint entire place, change light fixtures, etc.

The place has been vacant for at least a year and needs a LOT of work, so it will be a long summer….

Hi, Dharma. Well, decorating can be fun. You get to put your personal stamp on the house. 🙂 Maple flooring is really nice. I think the important thing is to get a house with good bones, then you can always change the more superficial things, it seems like you’ve done that. Enjoy! 🙂
