I feel a little silly adding books like this to my "read" list, because I never would've read it, were it not for a philosophy class. It was just sitting there in my "recent updates" from one of my randoms (sorry Synchro23, not to belittle our relationship, but we've just never actually met or communicated). I'm giving it 4 stars because I don't remember it, but it's like, ya know, wicked famous and stuff. So I'm sure it was just fine. I read this DJ Jazzy Gendre's class. That dude was nuts. I think I will go ahead and recommend 2pac's hilarious alter ego "Makaveli" over this. I remember people saying that this alter ego was one of the many signs pointing towards 2pac faking his own death (something about Italian philosopher Machiavelli writing about faking one's own death to spite one's enemies, or some other retarded idea that I am fully ready to believe if someone can produce these writings, which seems like a ridiculous thing for a philosopher to write about in the first place - along with the fact that 2pac still supposedly has a $1 million life insurance policy that has never been cashed), The point is, now you have homework!! isn't that more interesting than "The Prince?" get crazy! find me evidence that 'Pac is still alive and well, and living in Glendale. I will gladly confront him.

Diving into the mind and philosophy of Niccolo Machiavelli is always interesting, especially when you don't share the same views and beliefs.

“My view is that it is desirable to be both loved and feared; but it is difficult to achieve both and, if one of them has to be lacking, it is much safer to be feared than loved.”

"Better to be feared than loved- if you can't have both."

I think I have more reading to do before I can fully appreciate the Prince. I think some of his theory is sound but a bit more historical knowledge on my part is needed to truly grasp the significance of what is written here. What I understood was interesting and I am interested in reading more about Mr. Machiavelli but I don't know if I like it.
