That's a fantastic book.
I felt that way the first time I read it in High School. I had started reading it again a few months ago but then stopped because I got distracted by other things. I a lot more critical of it now than I was before. It is good, but part of me feels that it makes the history of philosophy seems so linear and progressive rather than dynamic and full of interactions. Then again, I did not finish rereading it.
It should be said that it's been quite a few years since I read it. That's one thing that sucks about growing older, feeling the need to analyse everything to death xD As a kid, it was much easier to just sit back and enjoy a good story.
Seriously, sometimes university sucks the joys out of things. T_T
