"The structure of science revolutions" by T.S Kuhn

I have finished today this book that I started to read many time before.
It's hard finish a non-fiction book when you have to read other many. Reading become non-lineal; some day read a chapter, look for the information that you only need, jump from a paragraph to another.
When I look back to my month's reads, this looks like I read only 3 or 4 books from start to the end. This is very few qualitatively considering my occupation. Of course this amount don't show the text that I re-read or the texts (or books) which i'm working on, or lonely chapters that I must comment.
So, this is a book that I finished today but I had "read" long ago.

About Science Revolutions I don't have nothing to publish today. I'm working on paradigms and imagination. Maybe a very silly idea, you know.

I envy people like Kuhn. I guess that when Kuhn wrote that book don't feel like he has start a revolution in some way. He cross some ideas from Philosophy, like the Aristolte's system is completely diferrent from Plato's or Spinoza, with the untouchable idea that Science is only teleological progress. And that's great. He found a way to show us a new presentation of the world.

I feel envy, but I didn't know if I envy his genius -that I'll never have, or that their work was recognized.

In any case, this book is essential in so many ways.
