Pretty Darn Good

So it doesn't have anything spectacular about it. But! It does have alot of the great writtings in it and some new ones, so it's pretty good. I'm using it for a intro to Philosophy and am pleased with how it referances things you can't possible know. Like the old towns or slang terms they used back then, they are all referenced extremly well.
