Too early to tell. So far it looks like a law-book, which is not the most interesting genre. It's also very Arabic.
I'm honestly reading it because I saw the phrase "excellence in all things" in the video game War Wind's manual, which is apparently also the name of a book of Baháʼí excerpts (no actual relation seems likely).

I'm picking up the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, the central text of the Baháʼí. Still a bunch of other stuff to go through.

I'm adding Legend of the Galatic Heroes to my pile. Perhaps I'll get past book 3 this time.

Still on Future Shock, 12 Commandments, Closing of the American Mind, Beyond Good and Evil and The Book of Knowledge. Picking up The Neoconservative Persuasion, a collection of Irving Kristol essays. Will probably read some C. S. Lewis for Christmas.

Zimmern, although it looks like the standard one is Kaufmann.

I’m still on Future Shock, 12 Commandments and Closing of the American Mind. Picking up Al-Ghazali’s The Book of Knowledge, which so far is a lot of quotes, and Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil, which is more interesting and lucid than I expected.

I'm trying to finish Alan Watt's The Wisdom of Insecurity. I wasn't impressed the first time I tried it, but his work on Zen changed my image of him in a positive way. Still slowly going through my backlog.
