Excellent performance of a classic.

Revisado: 09-18-23

I have to admit I was a bit shocked but then amused about the difference in opinion -- I purposefully came to comment on how fantastic the reading performance was. The text itself is excellent, but I thoroughly enjoyed Gillies rendering, and my only disappointment is that he hasn't been used more for books that I am interested in. It just goes to show that everyone has their preferences, and -- more importantly -- don't necessarily write off giving a book a try just because a certain reader doesn't work for some individuals. I only wish Gillies had been given the other Foucault texts and maybe let loose on the ponderous Heidegger to make following those more enjoyable.

Well worth the time -- will probably listen to again. So much great information and insights to consider.

devolved quickly into political diatribe

Revisado: 02-14-23

Sidetracked almost immediately into pointless, surface diatribe on diet and agri‐business. Needed an editor. It went from personal spiritual experience to college newspaper editorial in one chapter.

Fascinating

Will re-listen -- really interesting material about a brank of Buddhist practice I had no familiarity with.

Go down the hole! Will definitely seek out more Koja. Performance worked well and I couldn't stop listening.

Exquisite

“In a world of vibrant matter, it is thus not enough to say that we are ‘embodied.’ We are, rather, an array of bodies, many different kinds of them in a nested set of microbiomes” (Bennett, 2010, pp. 112-113).

Disappointing

Revisado: 12-24-22

If you have never encountered any of this subject matter before, this is a nice sort of book report summary -- a categorized list of unattributed definitions of symbols. I was disappointed because there was no 'journey.' Except for a brief bio at the beginning, the author doesn't share any original thoughts on the subject. There is nothing wrong with introductory books, though it is nice when those kinds of books give sources; I just thought this might have some more meat on its bones, There are also a number of just outright mistakes that just sort of grate against you when you hear them, like stating that Pico della Mirandola was Jewish. Pico had a Rabbi as a tutor who introduced him to Kabbalah, but he did not come from a Jewish family. Little things like that throughout the text sort of wore me down.

Some of the oddest narration I have ever heard.

Revisado: 10-06-22

Entertaining and interesting but the narration is very odd -- like a human who learned to read aloud by listening to computer readings instead of humans. Its some of the weirdest choices of inflection I have ever heard.
