The Republic by Plato:
Sounds like it’s by Socrates. Once again Will Smith’s recommendation got my mind boggled! It’s all about this conversation Socrates has with his mates about good over bad and definition of justice. Oh now… it sound like it is but they go so deep into other areas at one point Socrates was using squaring up numbers to mean something else!!! So its like these wise men just beat around the bush. So much extra text of nonsense and observations! Every now and then you’ll come across a good point after all that and it does add up to some great revelations… BUT!!! I’d rather have waited for the movie ;o) There’s just too much in it for me to break any bits down. Hell they even debate on women using the gym.
