I was surprised by this book as it's not typically his genre. It was an entertaining and quick read. Not something you'd want for a seasonal read but it makes for an entertaining weekend.
An essay about Socrates, from Plato's point of view about temperance, wisdom, and mans ability to know thyself.
In short, how can man know himself when a man can not know what he doesn't know. Men are good at showing what they know (wisdom) and a man can seem very wise until a situation arises in which the man doesn't have knowledge, and worse, doesn't see a problem because he is ignorant of what he doesn't know.
One of the best books I've read this year. American God's reads like a trip through the mind with places and Gods being way points on a grande adventure. A tome of a novel that I ripped through over the course of a week. Highly recommend.
