Protagoras and Meno Book

By far the most readable philosophical text I've ever read. Plato doesn't get lost in definitions and terminology the way Sartre does. The thinking is complex and provoking, but the actual written words are wonderfully comprehensible. Socrates lays out his arguments well in both texts, although I found them a lot more reasonable (with less leaps and conclusions based on pedantics) in Meno than in Protagoras.

Besides the actual arguments, my absolute favorite thing about this book was the translator. His notes on translation, history, and Plato's points were clear and helpful, as well as steeped in sarcasm and wit. It was just the right mix of professionalism and humor given the historical context. I often read them out loud to anyone unfortunate enough to be in the room with me. So huge shout out to Adam Beresford for making this 10 times better than a more dry translator would have been.
