Confuser loves the book!

This books is probably one of the highest value books I have ever read to this day. It gives a great explaination of the middle ground between buddhism/hinduism and christianity. There is a certain way to understand the symbolic language of these religions that I think this book is decent at opening people up to, albeit, still very difficult to figure out at first. I suggest reading this book very slowly and making sure to digest every sentence because everything in the book is dense with where it sits in its own mythology and how it relates to the real life.

150/400 this book is probably one of the highest value books I have read so far but it is a lot to take in so I read it slowly and take my time making sure I'm getting all the points.

Its a pretty decent read, it made me realize the issue with teaching math is that teachers are teaching the language of math rather than how to do math itself and what it actually is. We need to be taught better how to think mathematically.

Confuser doesn't like Shakespeares plays much

The book itself was awesome and I'm sure those who like to read Shakespeare would love it but I just didn't like it much at all so I stopped reading about 200 pages in.

I think I'm gonna stop reading this one, I was doing 2 pages a day for I think around 100 days at this point and I think I'm just not interested on reading Shakespeare's plays.
