wealth

So many really good books are available for free or very cheap on the internet. Technology has given us the capacity to learn and engage with the greatest minds like never before, but, partly because of the ease with which we can access those riches, we don't really appreciate them or make use of them. 

David Hume (1711 - 1776) is regarded as the most important philosopher ever to write in English, but who reads Hume now? How many people even know about him? Or maybe a more apposite question is who can read Hume? 

Later edit: Just after posting this I came across a YouTube video and the presenter was talking about his 10 favorite books, and one of them was A Treatise of Human Nature by David Hume:
My Top 10 Books of All Time. So that was a pleasant surprise.
