In “The Light of Asia”, it felt like the first several hundred years of east-west contact passed by relatively quickly early on in the book. Then as it progresses, focus lies increasingly heavily on various Asian spiritualities and religious traditions and their influences on trends and particular figures out in the west, almost to the point where it frankly made things bog down for me a bit.
Overall, I would definitely call this quite informative, and even entertainingly so at times - but also something of an imbalanced read.
