Alas, I have ran out of books to read.

I have read quite a few, Crime and Punishment was my favorite so far. Though Les Misérables was quite impressive as well.

That in mind, offer me a book to read. A book that meant something, not just light reading. I do believe most everyone has a book that left a great impression on them.

The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli.

[witch_ofthewest]

Hello, Reborn.

What is it about?

[chameleongun]

Hello, Elphaba.

It's a political treatise.

[witch_ofthewest]

Ah, I shall tell Orpherus to read it too, then.

[chameleongun]

Orpherus...

It may not be suited to him. In any case, if his school is as good as I've heard, they would have covered it.

[witch_ofthewest]

Oh? Is it not about moral, then?

[chameleongun]

Hardly. One of its central tenets is the justification of means by a proper end.

[witch_ofthewest]

...Indeed my kind of a book.

[chameleongun]

I thought you might like it. But keep in mind that it was written at a highly unstable time in history.

[witch_ofthewest]

Maybe I could learn something from it.

[chameleongun]

There is something to be learned from everything.

[witch_ofthewest]

True, Reborn. True enough.
