A review by indalauryn
The Birth of Reason and Other Essays by George Santayana

2.0

I was a bit more excited about reading this book when I found that the saying those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it was attributed to Santayana. However, this book is actually quite boring. So much of what he says can be chalked up to common sense and, well, he just wasn't opening my eyes to anything new. This might be a good book for the philosophy major, but I've got enough real life behind me to know this just isn't that impressive. I wanted to like it, but it was just okay reading and didn't give me much excitement for reflection. Okay, on to Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
