Also similar question what's sk Sun's favorite book to read for himself or to the kiddos he watches over for?

I think he'd enjoy the worlds of Middle Earth (LOTR and Hobbit). He's rather fond of fantasy worlds. He'll sometimes shock people by picking up a horror novel or two.

When reading to the Sunbeams, he's got quite the arson. Alice in Wonderland, The Little Prince, Dr. Seuss, some shorter children's books to show pictures. Anything silly that can make the little ones laugh.

Thank you very much for being part of the Introduction to our Lacan & Language Reading Circle yesterday! It was a very thoughtful night in which we talked about what Lacan could say about our own feelings and ideas that we have from ourselves and others. We hope this is only the beginning of a fun and open exploration around Lacanian theory and practice. We are looking forward to seeing you all next Monday!
