A true scholar

I think I can summarize this book as a love-hate relationship.

There were parts where I could relate to the thoughts and emotions of the author and was amazed at his level of intellect and knowledge in so many diverse fields of study.

However, there were parts where I merely skimmed the passages, and felt annoyed at the sense of judgement and entitlement from the author, who in my view seems very hypocritical most of the time.

It is a good read to expose yourself to the classics however, it can be very monotonous and dry at times. Definitely not a page turner, but good for expansion of ideas and literature.
