Title: Wow, what a miss
Product review: I was in a brick-n-mortar store and, hurrying more than I should have been as it turns out, selected this volume from their pitiable selection. Serves me right, I suppose.I'm embarrassed to have bought this book. It is the very definition of glurge. I hate the idea of throwing a book in the trash, but on the other hand, passing it along to someone who might actually end up considering it a legitimate presentation of Epictetus feels like a crime as well. I guess I could hand it off to my sister-in-law who goes in for all that Chicken Soup crap--it's not like scholastic integrity particularly matters to her.Oh well. After I post this I'll do what I should have done in the first place: search Amazon and choose a decent edition of the Discourses and/or the Enchiridon.Again: I apologize to everyone I've ever respected for (inadvertently, I swear!) paying actual money for this pap. I feel like I have helped sponsor an act of academic terrorism.
