DNF. I made it through 100 fables before I realized that I didn't like enough that I didn't want to finish.

Aesop’s Fables
I loved all the fables, I read most of them when I was a kid. But the books I read as a child were much more organized and it all made sense. Fables were organized by the main theme, country of origin, etc. This edition didn't have any organization at all. And that's why reading it made it more like a task and it wasn't very enjoyable.
Loved the fables, hated the lack of organization in the Barnes and Noble edition I was reading.

It's a nice looking book with small story's with each of them having a moral behind it.

I didn't realize so many of the fables were so short, each one amounting to about a page or less. The morals are consistent and repetitive, often advising listeners/readers to look out for him or herself first and foremost, but share wealth with the right sorts, and never fail to express warranted gratitude.
