I recently finished reading through the Dhammapada and once it was done was asked to rate it. It's just one of the central books in Buddhism, but probably the least approachable. I dunno three stars? I'm not sure what my star rating can add to the several thousand-year discussion of the Buddha's teachings. On the other hand, the public domain translation really leans into some Judeo-Christian concepts overlaying the original context. So maybe we'll drop another star.

The possibilities are endless here. Are there evangelicals spamming Goodreads to ensure that the NIV never falls below five stars? Are they sparring with Anglicans, staging one-star spam reviews on the King James version? Are Muslims review bombing all non-Arabic translations of The Koran for blasphemy? The Talmud itself being a review and discussion of the Torah, are those meta-reviews? All the Wiccan books are just copied from books about other Pagan religions with the serial numbers filed off? Is the Book of Mormon filed under fan fiction?

Eh, the Buddha was a good enough dude, I should probably add that third star back.
