It's terrible
Not a dense read or anything but I guess the Ancient Greek sense of humour was geared towards mostly lame puns and wordplay
Maybe it's the translator's fault. Every second footnote seems to be "there was a great joke here trust me, but it's untranslatable so I came up with a different joke that's just as good, promise!!!"

I am reading this, I actually been enjoying it a lot. Chapter 16 and 23 have been my favorites so far. God, I thought it was going to be a tryhard book after the first 2 chapters. Gladly it showed me otherwise.
Also I just started reading No Gods, No Master by Daniel Guerin. Can't say much about it just started it yesterday.

Most interesting one. I found it in a pile of rubble at the used bookstore I work at. Printed in Bengal in 1953, with a New Delhi Oxford stamp on the inside cover. Some cigarette smoke damage on the spine. I'm thinking of the owner, who is probably dead now.

"The contrast between the beautiful, broad, unalloyed peace of Nature – calm, passive, silent unfathomable – and our own everyday worries – paltry, sorrow-laden, strife-tormented... Where nature is hidden and cowers under mist and cloud, snow and darkness, there man feels himself master; he regards his desires, his works, as permanent."

start with wage labor and capital. Better yet, purchase pic related. It has an abridged version of Capital which contains a lot of the important ideas.

Man, I just finished Light in August, and this is supposed to arrive in the mail today. I loved As I Lay Dying and The Sound and the Fury so much, but Light in August kicked my ass. Such a wonderful book. Can't wait to start Absolom.

I might read Sound and the Fury next, but the other book I'm considering reading next is The Idiot. So I have to decide between a tale of an idiot or a tale told by an idiot.

Yikes. Yeah, if you do read Sound, make sure to stick through the Quentin part. It's pretty tough, but it's worth it if you spend time with it, and the chapters that follow it are some of the best writing I've read.

Nihilism by Fr Seraphim Rose.

Realism, with it's talk of materialism, won't save you! And neither will Liberalism - focusing on humanity and subscribing to deism is lousy. Same with Idealism, you're just substituting your new notions of "spiritualism" with the one true God, as defined by the Orthodox Church.

Believing in relative truths will lead you down a dangerous, sad path. Instead you should believe in the one Absolute Truth - God.
