A review by chandle5
The Essential Rumi by Rumi

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.

I came to look at reviews at about 20% of the way through since I felt bewildered given Rumi's fame... things started to make sense after reading up on Coleman Barks "translating" methods. I plan to purchase Jawid Mojaddedi's version in hopes of getting more accurate translations since I do want to experience the beauty Rumi's words have to offer!
