Anisha Inkspill’s Reviews > Republic > Status Update

What I'm finding hard to believe is that I have reached this far and it's almost the end of October, I won't be able to finish this at the end of this month but maybe within the next couple of weeks, maybe, and if I do I will be surprised by this.

I had heard of these works referred to as dialogues but never clocked it was literal, and I like reading plays and screenplays and so I'm finding this easier than I thought I would. I’m also surprised by its humour, v unexpected.

The intro essay gives me an overview of what to expect. I never made the connect between the name of this book and its content, I am now intrigued and want to know more.

I also like how Robin Waterfield’s intro essay makes me feel I will be able to keep up with the rest of the book. It’s nice when a book makes me feel this confident but I’m keeping an open mind :)

This has been on my tbr for ages. I’ve picked this translation by Robin Waterfield as it seems the easiest. But we shall see.
