Michael loved to read,
many had testified on his reading habit, and also was caught in the bookstore
Michael Jackson's Lawyer, Bob Sanger, Talks to West Coast Sound About the Pop Star, His Life -- and His Reading Habits
[here are few excerpt of the article]
"We talked about psychology, Freud and Jung, Hawthorne, sociology, black history and sociology dealing with race issues. But he was very well read in the classics of psychology and history and literature."
Wir sprachen über Psychologie, Freud und Jung, Hawthorne, Soziologie, Geschichte der Schwarzen und Soziologie der Rassenthemen. Aber er war auch sehr belesen in den Klassikern der Psychologie, Geschichte und Literatur.
"He loved to read. He had over 10,000 books at his house."
Er liebte es zu lesen. Er hatte über 10.000 Bücher zuhause.
"And there were places that he liked to sit, and you could see the books with his bookmarks in it, with notes and everything in it where he liked to sit and read. And I can tell you from talking to him that he had a very - especially for someone who was self-taught, as it were, and had his own reading list - he was very well-read. And I don't want to say that I'm well-read, but I've certainly read a lot, let's put it that way, and I enjoy philosophy and history and everything myself, and it was very nice to talk to him, because he was very intellectual, and he liked to talk about those things. But he didn't flaunt it, and it was very seldom that he would initiate the conversation like that, but if you got into a conversation like that with him, he was there."
Es gab Plätze wo er gerne sass, und man konnte die Bücher mit den Lesezeichen drin sehen, mit Notizen und allem drin, wo er gerne sass und las. Und ich kann durch Gespräche mit ihm versichern, dass er -besonders für jemand, der Autodidakt war und seine eigene Lektüreliste hatte - er war sehr gut belesen.Und ich möchte nicht sagen, dass ich belesen bin, aber ich habe sicher eine Menge gelesen, sagen wir es so, und ich mag Philosophie und Geschichte und alles, und es war sehr nett mit ihm zu sprechen, weil er sehr interlektuell war, und er sprach gerne über diese Dinge. Aber er gab nicht an damit, und es war sehr selten, dass er so ein Gespräch beginnen würde, aber wenn du mit ihm in so ein Gespräch kamst, war er da.
"And few people really had the opportunity the have these intellectual discussions about great thinkers and writers. Freud and Jung - go down the street and try and find five people who can talk about Freud and Jung."
Nur wenige Leute hatten wirklich die Gelegenheit zu diesen interlektuellen Gespräche über grosse Denker und Schrifsteller. Freud und Jung - geh die Strasse entlang und versuche fünf Leute zu finden, mit denen du über Freud und Jung sprechen kannst.
Michael Jackson, the bookworm
"He was a longtime and valued customer," a store representative of art and architecture bookstore Hennessey + Ingalls said Thursday. "We'll miss him."
"He loved the poetry section," Dave Dutton said as Dirk chimed in that Ralph Waldo Emerson was Jackson's favorite. "I think you would find a great deal of the transcendental, all-accepting philosophy in his lyrics."
"Er liebte den Dichtung/Poesie Bereich", sagte Dave Dutton als Dirk zustimmte dass Jackson Ralph Waldo Emerson am liebsten mochte. "Ich denke, man würde einen grossen Teil der transzendenten/übersinnlichen, all-akzeptierenden (sry, weiss grad nicht, wie man das übersetzen soll ) Philosophie in seinen Texten finden"
