I was going through Schopenhauer and am about halfway through book 2 of this thing. It is hard to follow at times. The first book mainly concerns reason, and his detailed explanation with regards to how reasons doesn't really explain things at all, and the second book thus far introduces will as the only explanation that we should ever really need.
That summary doesn't really do justice to what is actually a very deft and verbose affair-- a lot of the points he makes are convincing and you find yourself wanting to follow the entire arch of the argument better.
The translator did a decent job but I wish I had a professor to help me walk through it.
That's all for now.
