I may pick it up, however, if I want to try something new since philosophical books aren't really ones I've exposed myself to. Either way, thank you for the wonderful review!
I hope that you will enjoy it if you decide to pick it up. Do let me know what you think of it if you do. Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment, I appreciate it!

I like stories that make me aware of my surroundings. If an author is lost in describing a girl crossing the road, I feel mesmerized and I lose myself with him. Beautiful review!

I particularly like that the Latin phrases included at the back of the book was translated to English. That was very thoughtful of the author.

I like the theme of the book, and also the cover. I loved your perception of the abstract, however reading multiple pieces with a similar theme can be quite taxing. Thanks for the amazing review!

It can certainly be taxing! I suppose it would be good to read it slowly. Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment, I appreciate it!
