How is this? I've read all the 'beginner' dialogues recommended by lit and want to get into the rest of Plato.

Imagine listening to some caveman make ridiculous strawman arguments about semantics

That's the book

What are the "beginner" dialogues? Do you mean Plato's early dialogues?

the cardinal rule of this site is that the best discussion of a given topic happens outside of the board whose purpose is to contain said topic

It's so far the only collection with everything, including the letters, the definitions probably developed by Academy members, a few spurious dialogues, under translated "contested" dialogues, and some poems attributed to Plato. The translations vary in, excepting the Diskin Clay Critias, none of them are the best translations available, but it has everything right there. If you want something closer or more accurate, that can be dled.

This one and the Aristotle ones seem pretty unwieldy to actually comfortably read
