I’m kinda overwhelmed, tbh. There’s just way too much info dumped all at once, and it keeps jumping between timelines. The author leaves no real time to process anything before it moving straight to the next point.

Question probably best for librarians...I want to join a book club at my local library. They read the UChicago Great Books list, but when I went there today hoping it would be just a set classic, it seemed to be a specific edition of essays? The librarian let me take a picture of the book, which I think said "Great Books" on the cover. The contents were Job (Bible), Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mill, Caesar and Cleopatra by Bernard Shaw, The City of God by St. Augustine, and Symposium by Plato. I think the librarian said the group was on "volume 4," but when I looked up the UChicago Great Books program, this volume didn't correspond to that list... My question would be WHO can locate this volume / book / volume? Mill's Utilitarianism is longer than the truncated selection they appeared to have put in this book, which runs around 25 pages. I have a copy of Plato's Symposium, but it would be great to get my hands on a copy of this particular book. I just can't seem to find it! Need me some good book detectives! I'm sorry, but all I can give you is the table of contents 😭 let me know what other info you need and I'll try to be as helpful as I can.
