Reading the Tao Te Ching right now. Kind of disappointed. Any advice for how to approach/appreciate it?

@KevinSimler http://www.duhtao.com/ is a good site; it has a bunch of different translations and you can compare passages. -
@KevinSimler Nice thing about the Daodejing is it's so short, if you don't like a translation at least it hasn't wasted much of your time. -
@KevinSimler But as a translation I really like CC Tsai's; cartooning is the correct context to initially encounter the text. -
@St_Rev whoa... my chess teacher gave me a cartoon version of Lao Tzu when I was 12 or so. I wonder if this is the same one -
@KevinSimler Probably! It's a classic. Same author has done a lot of the Chinese canon in manhua style. -
@St_Rev cool, super helpful. I guess I'll finish up with this one and then take a look at the Zhuangzi. thanks!
