Always enjoyable to add to one's knowledge of ancient greek philosophy. This book is a compilation of writings by, anecdotes about, and writings on the ancient Cynics. Although there seems to be a marked dip in flair in the Cynic movement after Antisthenes, Diogenes, and Crates, the writings here by Epictetus and Lucian were still really enjoyable.
