4.0

Petrarch asks Augustine a bunch of questions about life and Augustine answers them with (brutal) honesty. Of course, this is all in Petrarch's head.

My philosophy professor recommended this book, and even though I found it both instructive and entertaining, I shall return to it sometime again when I am going through a heartbreak, seemingly unsolvable life conundrum or just feel like hearing Augustine's life advice. Right now, I'm really vibing and feel that the book could be of more use to me when I am going through a harder time.
