what a remarkable waste of time. just because a piece of writing is skilled or introspective and old enough to be considered a classic does not mean that its ideas are, or have ever been, of quality. the literature itself even when you discard the substandard ideas lack in anything that make it worthwhile to read. there are some enjoyable lines sprinkled throughout, which is the only reason I'd give this even a ΒΌ star rating, but they are few and far between.
