This book had some real good gems but the book as a whole was not as impressive. It is pretty good considering the time it was written (15th century), and makes some valuable points, but still has too much of an abandon-the-world mentality.
Some memorable quotes:
"It is vanity to wish for long life, if you care little for a good life."
"A wise lover values not so much the gift of the lover, as the love of the giver."

I've been wondering about this one for a while. Mostly I hear rave reviews, and lots of good quotes.
