Good books are like conference talks . . .

You know that feeling you get in General Conference where you feel like all the talks were written just for you and your struggles? Or when you're reading your scriptures and it "just happens" to be the perfect thing to read that day?

Well, good books are like conference talks. I've been reading Plato's Phaedo over the last few days and I just have to say that I've loved it. It was the perfect thing to read for all that has happened over the last {especially} 6 months.

Short version: Plato is recounting to his friend Phaedo a conversation that Socrates had (while in prison) with a few other philosophers regarding the afterlife and what happens to the soul.

You should read it, it's good stuff. {Warning: it's not exactly an easy read, but it's only 67 pages.}
