Okay required reading this christmas break, did not enjoy it after awhile. To much infor to cram into your mind at any period in time. It is a good reference book for greek and roman mythology. It even has a bit of Norse.

'HRLLP'

Surprisingly I enjoyed the book a whole lot. It was required summer reading for my lit class and I expected the worst. It's information is not only witty but all so true. This will make you look at your favorite books in a whole new light. I would recommend this to those who love to read and look between the lines.

Main issues:
- far too sycophantic, especially when dealing with Kant
- far too many grammar errors. The number of commas I had to add, remove, and replace was obscene.

On the other hand, this book sent me on my merry way to discovering more fully Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Frege, and Heidegger, which I am very happy about. Worth the read for that alone.
