A review by gossamer_lens
Tao Te Ching by Laozi

fast-paced

3.5

There were very rare moments of "insight" in this book... I think the issue is this particular translation. It reads as very "Instagram poetry." It wasn't a complete nothing-sauce, but it was close and just notable for having "done it first." I cannot imagine this work has endured for so long based on what this translation gives to the reader. I will be in search of a better translation to read sometime in the future.
