Looks amazing! And really good reads.

I’ve had this from here for quite some time. I got it to add a more serious section to my personal pleasure reading books. I enjoy reading this when I have time between classes. I’m still only on art of war because I’ve been quiet a busy college student but it’s easy to understand so far and I’m extremely happy with this book. It came in great condition, bigger than I thought it’d be but I’m still loving it. The pages feel very nice and the print is great, very easy to see even when I don’t have my glasses. Lol gotta love the new, fresh book smell. If I could I would never put this book down and just read it all in one sitting. Because there’s more then one author might do separate reviews if I can.

A Little Disappointing

The Art of War was pretty interesting, but not too insightful. The translation of the Tao te Ching was almost unreadable. Confucius was alright; Mencius bored me half to death. The aesthetics of the book’s outer parts do make up partially for the flaws in the content.
