i tried to read this, really could not get into it. tried listening to an audio book version of it but its so dry that i cant handle reading this at all. maybe this is too deep for me to understand but i really got lost heaps.

I really shouldn't force myself to read philosophy books-they're not enjoyable, nor are they illuminating in any way that I can find.

As for specifics of this book, it was presented as a conversation, but each speaker was so rambling in their diatribe that it was hard to keep the thread of the argument (or the speaker) straight. Additionally, there were two tiers of footnotes in addition to end notes that proved to be wildly distracting, and mostly just labels of the text.

There was an additional "book" added to the end that was another slog. I enjoyed none of this, nor do I recommend this to anybody.
