I wanted to DNF this out of spite. Very annoying book. Reminded me of why I didn't like my Philosophy 101 class. Not the fun kind of philosophy, it's the kind that uses long, overdrawn examples. And is very white in a way I can't explain. I mean, I could explain it, but that would take way too long. The only thing I like about it is the idea that Heaven and Hell are sort of neutral / based on perspective, but those concepts truly are just concepts (ideas pitched out and explained to all hell, pun intended) when it comes to the book as a whole.
