Review: SPINOZA IN 90 MINUTES by Paul Strathern

I have to confess that though I love to read, i don't love to read philosophy. I find it extremely dull, and I've found Spinoza to be one of the dullest. It's difficult to see someone's when you can't get past level archaic style. I have the same problem with Shakespeare, so it's probably a flaw in my own character.

That said, the book does a good job of summarizing the life and work of Spinoza. As I was once told about a sermon, the beginning was good, the end was good, and most importantly they were close together. I recommend it, especially if you're as lazy as me,
