Okay, I have to admit that this book is WAY harder to get through than I thought. HOWEVER, once you get past the antiquated language (and lack of sentence and paragraph structure, ouch) the story is quite interesting. I didn't read the intro, but then again, I never read the introductions to books anyway.
'If a man,' says he, 'were to see a great company run out every day into the rain and take delight in being wet--if he knew that it would be to no purpose for him to go and persuade them to return to their houses in order to avoid the storm, and that all that could be expected by his going to speak to them would be that he himself should be as wet as they, it would be best for him to keep within doors, and, since he had not influence enough to correct other people's folly, to take care to preserve himself.' (pg )
There was really no plot other than Thomas More telling everyone what someone else told him about the Utopians. Basically socialists.
Some things were interesting and made sense, but I know that the world is STILL not ready for some of the concepts of that society.
