Read it a while back. The actual content is pretty dry, but depending on what version you get, it can be ight

Really, I might just read it for the hell of it. Is it along the lines of Prince by Machiveli?

I read it just to say that I read it.

There are a ton of different translations, find a good one.

I read a few of them and even listened to a couple....my favorite is - The Denma Translation....it's real thorough and has great commentary...

AOW is different than 'The Prince' but both are basically about strategy on how to run a nation....however, both books can be applied to many subjects from owning a business, to art and even romance....

You may think that the way it's written is odd but when reading it, know that it was meant to be a chant/musical dialogue....
