The Prince
4 journalers for this copy...
I don't know why Machiavelli has such a bad name. This is a good book. Common sense at the time (and probably today).
Reserved for froggiepopple for postage.
This was a fairly good read, sometimes it was a little dull.

Journal Entry 6 by jblueafterglow from Coquitlam, British Columbia Canada on Tuesday, January 11, 2005
Arrived in the mail the day before today. My sociology teacher last semester kept drilling this book title and author into our heads. Not literally. Metaphorically. Thanks, froggiepopple.
Journal Entry 7 by jblueafterglow from Coquitlam, British Columbia Canada on Monday, January 8, 2007
Tried reading this one over the last few days. Thought at first it would be enjoyable, as the introduction was intriguing enough, but quickly found it to be, as noted above, quite dull and common sensical. Though perhaps not common sense when The Prince was written (~ 1513-1516). I read to the end of chapter five, then skipped ahead quite a bit. I got the most out of chapter eighteen, "How far rulers are to keep their word". David Emerson must have read this chapter one year ago; had he quoted from it during the aftermath, perhaps it would've helped his cause..
The first paragraph of the introduction, about a prisoner's hands being tied behind their back and then the prisoner being lifted by the wrists, had me squirming.
Not yet sure what I'll do with this now..

Just found it at the Starbucks bookcrossing at Oak and 22nd. I have been intending to read it since graduate school--what luck!
