Ooof it's very encouraging to know that annotating yields benefits even 5 decades later. I'll definitely try to interact with the book as much as I ca...

Hm! Good point and thank you for the resource! I have an English translation by Desmond Lee, but I was thinking of reading in my native language becau...
