I'd read Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" before but had never had the opportunity to read anything my Chuang Tzu. This was an excellent book that I read straight through, probably not the best way to read it, I think I'll get a physical copy so I can keep it on the nightstand to read the poetry section, again and again.
tsikes's review against another edition
Most of this book was parables designed to illustrate taoist principles. I understood maybe 1/4-1/3 of them? The ones that did come across were profound in their simplicity. I might come back to this book if I ever decide to study Taoism more carefully.
