Barron's is actually what I was planning on using. Unfortunately, the GRE is changing (I believe in July of 2011) so I'm holding off until then. That was news to me until this weekend... granted: that was the first time I had logged on to buy a book. Did you find the exam difficult?
Yeah, it was Nagel - good for you for catching the reference. Are you in the field?

I should read him again while drunk, which always makes for awesome philosophy thoughts.

I cannot even copy his manner because the manner of his prose was the manner of his thinking and that was a dazzling succession of gaps; and you cannot ape a gap because you are bound to fill it in somehow or other -- and blot it out in the process. -- Nabokov
