Beautifully written, thoughtful and graceful. Very much a modern classic dark academic in vibes and content. One of the only classic books steeped in religion, spirituality and philosophy that I have enjoyed. It can be very dense at times so I would recommend combination reading and audio. I also think this is a great book to revisit and take notes on to see how your opinions change over the years.
