   @willbuckingham I think it really raises the bar - most philosophically astute English translation of Laozi I've read since Ames and Hall. As for his Zhuangzi, who else has included translations of the major commentaries? That really opened up the text for me.

     @davebonta I've not read it yet. I know there are quite a few folks who don't like his Zhuangzi. What do you make of it?

     @willbuckingham Been meaning to ask what you make of the new Brook Ziporyn translation of Daodejing, if you’ve had a chance to check it out

     For the rest of this morning, I'm going to read Zhuangzi. This, apparently, is my job, or part of it. I can't help thinking that Zhuangzi himself would have found this hilarious.
