My take away : scepticism, cause - habit - effect, nice prose.
I read only Justine.
The main question is if it is worth following virtue in one's life, given that providence can favour a sinful conduct better.
I found that the philosophical pages and the repetitive systems were like rather fun labyrinths were the reader had to learn how to refute the sophisms exposed.
But it was quite tedious. It seems to me on one hand that Choderlos de Laclos did better at painting libertinism, and on the other hand that Voltaire's Candide was more skillful at painting humans as (I oppose the thesis !) fundamentally evil.
Read Romeo and Juliet. Masterful.
Repetitions but nice stoicism Epictete's book is very nice aswell
Acerbic yet well-crafted
One of the oldest tales known.
What expressive power ! A little monument.

Three virtues : faith, charity, and most importantly hope.
A long poem in prose, baffling but engaging, with a stark prosody.
A convincing case against Arne Naess and deep #ecology, for an enlightened, democratic and reasonable ecology .
A precious testimony
Funny, witty, easy-going, pleasant
Delicate and funny #ecology
There is a clear didactic effort and the journey is enjoyable, but in my opinion it did not deliver remarquably in making me understand the nature of quantum entanglement, the ingeniosity in Bell's inequalities, nor the consequences of their violation for the advancement of non-locality.
Rhetoric should supplement dialectics in the general curriculum.
