Hey /lit/, I am suppose to read the novel The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli over the summer and write an essay over the diction, plot, characterization, ect... But so far I have found this book to be frusturatingly boring. Any tips?

Hipsters read Niccolo because they want to be cool and ironic, not because they actually care what the man had to say.

Read The 48 Laws of Power if you can't handle his long-winded, misanthropic ramblings. Robert Greene condenses everything, then feeds it to you in bite-sized chunks.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 2 00:43:24 2010 No.859407 It's a good book, you'll have to find an awesome translation though. The one I had for my college course was pretty good, but I can't for the life of me recall the author (it's 3000 miles away from me right now.)
