This book remains a delight, though some of the politics is a bit dense. Frequently funny, with fantastic parables and similes.

What a marvelous book! Thoroughly enjoying the insight into the psychological reasons for various people’s ways of behaving. I just love the authorial voice!

A highlight from today:

“There is hardly any contact more depressing to a young, ardent creature than that of a mind in which years full of knowledge seem to have issued in a blank absence of interest or sympathy.”
