My latest long term reads have been the Bhagavad Gita and The Upanishads. I have to admit that I didn't get too much out of the Bhagavad Gita. Maybe I just need an expert to walk me through it although it seemed fairly straightforward. It seemed to me like a lot of circular and redundant praise of deities. Guess I was expecting some good life advice or principles for living. It was not a bad read by any means, just not what I was looking for.
I've enjoyed The Upanishads much more. More poetic. Same translator as the Bhagavad Gita. Still a lot of word salads and paeans to various gods. Occasionally there will be nice passages like the one above.
