Ishmael by Daniel Quinn

4.0

This book was assigned to me during my undergrad, and I kept it all these years, returning to read it now. At first I internally groaned, “philosophy; ugh.” However, as I continued to read I remembered why this held my 20-year-old interest and maintained my interest today. Ideas expressed hold greater significance today more than ever in terms of how man is negatively impacting the planet. The format of a conversation makes this philosophical plunge more palatable
