Publishers are very confident in their taste for people who continually put out stuff fewer and fewer people seem interested in reading. Success with them is either connections, or persistence. But persistence is not success. They seem to think they control taste and culture, publishing within their clique which they conflate with old aristocracies as a small group of taste makers, when they're just butchering culture to fit their limited abilities, and we get lucky if something halfway decent squeezes through.

And that recommendation was probably a political favor.

Hello /lit/.I want to start reading philosophy and i was thinking of buying the complete works of plato.Is it to complicated for a beginner?
And if it is then what should i read first,give me some recommendations.

Thank you.
