wow. i really loved it. it was my first philosophical classic literature book. took me long to complete it, and it was a bit boring and slow a couple times but apart from that it was amazing. the more i think about it, the more i like it. its certainly very thought provoking. this book is about beauty, youth, morality, good and evil, vanity, narcissism, hedonism, (bad) influence, self identity, conscience, guilt, shame, regret, temptation, and so much more. read the censored version, but i do plan to read the uncensored one sometime. i think this was a great book to step my toes into philosophical literature - which i'm sure i'll be reading more of very soon.
