Gm /book-clubs "Just as others are pleased by a good horse or dog or bird, I myself am pleased to an even higher degree by good friends. . . . And the treasures of the wise men of old which they left behind by writing them in books, I unfold and go through them, together with my friends..." - Xenophon’s Socrates

(We posited that it may, in fact, unlock Shakespeare's critique of Christianity.) Pt 2 – "Merchant of Venice" Sun 1pmET on @unlonely Register: lu.ma/w5uc0m3l
