I'm glad that's over. I heard about this book in a podcast saying it would be a perfect primer for jumping into “the classics”. I found Adler lacks a compelling writing style, often being verbose to the point where it started to become frustrating.

There were a few decent takeaways when it came to reading poetry and classic plays, but was lacking information where I was the most interested (philosophy). I just noticed the book is on blinkist—that might be a more approachable way to digest this thing.
