Aristotle for Everybody - Mortimer J. Adler

Ugh.  I'm not sure what I didn't like about this audiobook.

Perhaps it was that the reader sounded like a pretentious asshole.  I'm also wondering if the content was truly representative of Aristotle's philosophy - as this book just seemed to define some really common things like contradiction, ideas versus actuality, etc.  In that sense it was almost a waste of time.

I also found some concepts strange and not what I believe, which blows my mind because I can't imagine that I am more insightful than the father of modern philosophy.  I'll have to explore other books about the teaching of Aristotle to have a firm conclusion about that.
