The other day I came across this sentence in the preface to a book about Spinoza by the late Sir Roger Scruton...
“Chapter 3 must therefore be read twice if it is to be understood.”
Countless tomes I have read over the years, both fiction and non-fiction, might have benefited from a disarmingly honest admonition of comparable nature from their authors. (Sometimes in reference to the ENTIRE work.)
