Originally written in 1867, this is the story of a man who wanders the world living a profitable life without ever quite discovering his own identity. "To thine own self be true," is a moral contained in this text; "Know thyself" is another.

If you like reading Shakespear or other plays-in-verse, you'll like this one. It's funny and sad, it rolls right off the tongue, and it's got goblins in it! What more can you ask?

I'm leaving it and another book on the Book Swap shelf at work in trade for a copy of "Like Water For Chocolate" I picked up there.
