I tried to read this book once because it's ranked #1 on Modern Library's TOp 100 Non-fiction books of all time: http://www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/100-best-nonfiction/

I got 2/3rds of the way through and couldn't make it any farther; I was not enjoying it at all. And it's rare for me to not finish a book. It simply hasn't aged well, and his weird tone and unusual focus on "education" (broadly construed) rather than simply just writing a memoir was off-putting.

Also, this site is broken. The text is quite small, but zooming in the page nukes the left margin, pushing the text right up against the left edge of the window and making it hard to read.
