I sort of fall asleep while reading so far - and I'm still in the introduction. There are parts that catch my imagination, like the idea that if you drill a hole to the center of the earth and drop a lump of clay into that hole, it will fall to the center and stop there, this being its way to show a love of God. That's an interesting idea.

Upon completion, I can see why Clifton Fadiman refers to Aristotle as being completely humorless, lacking the wit and charm of Plato. It will be a relief to move away from the Greeks for a little while. On to The Book of Mencius, if I can find it!
