I wasn‘t sure what to expect from this Classical Chinese work. I wanted to read it cause I‘d heard Confucius was essential to understand China and I read a short introduction once that didn‘t feel deep enough. While very gnomic and containing so many layers of meaning that I see why people have been writing about this for millennia, this was a lot more readable than I expected and it made me think a lot. Very approachable translation and notes

Reading The Analects was difficult because I didn‘t understand its cultural or historical relevance. I spent some time looking into its history & this helped me to understand how important it is to read this as an historical document.

Historical documents aren‘t usually the most exciting reads, but I gained a greater understanding, &, I hope, appreciation for an aspect of world history.

Thanks for the opportunity to read this, @SerialReader !

I'm enjoying the Analects, and finding many sayings to ponder, but I know I should buy a copy with a good introduction and explanatory notes in order to truly appreciate this classic work. Maybe someday... But for now, #SerialReader is a great way to break the sayings up into manageable chunks and get acquainted with the work! #litsyclassics #letterA Have any of y'all read this?

Not pictured: a hot cup of Jasmine Romance green tea. 😊

I'm loving my three current #litsyclassics reads on #SerialReader, each for very different reasons! #letterA has intriguing philosophical thoughts, #letterY has a suspenseful sci fi plot, and #letterZ has lovely descriptions and dramatic characters! #SerialReader is extra perfect this year, since my phone is in airplane mode for the year! So when I don't have wifi, all I can do on it is read! 🤗

There were times I couldn't find time to read. And there were times I couldn't stop reading and missed life instead. What is life without living it... and what is knowledge without reading? Both go hand in hand.

I figured it was time I show you the reason for the "Sew" in "SewItGoes"! I made this last week for my desk at work. :) (The quote I think is Obama referencing Confucius but either way it's a favorite.)

Pagesflutter Very nice! I ❤cross-stitch! It goes well with audiobooks too, heh. 8y
