Congrats on the new role! Maybe we will have that breakfast at Bialys one if these days. This book is one that was assigned when I was in Masters program in liberal arts at U of C a few years ago. I was like you, writing about accounting and audit all the time and making no time for arts, fiction and poetry. We studied the classics and history of thought and this book had a profound influence on me.
