eh. it was ok. Not the best translation, lots of grammatical mistakes and some spelling mistakes. And if this really is how the Purana reads, its just not all that interesting. Its just a bunch of stories which follow the template: Bad shit happens, Ganesha saves the day. Or, a guy is a prick, then he realized hes a prick and Ganesha forgives him. A couple of the stories had a bit more development or depth to them, but not many. The only way I found it somewhat enjoyable was by abandoning any idea of getting philosophical or spiritual learning out of it, and just examining it as a historical text. Then it becomes somewhat more interesting. Like I said, forgiveness, mercy, and grace themes abound. Also its interesting that a lot of these stories are ones which exist elsewhere in the Hindu canon, but they are rewritten to be a lot cleaner and simpler, loose ends tied up. Also modified so that some of the main characters become more pitiful or lame, and Ganesha takes the centre stage. Ganesha is the hidden moving power behind all these stories it turns out. Also interesting that Ganesha seems to favor Brahmins over Kshatriyas in a lot of these stories, and that he seems to command vast armies in many of them, presaging his origin as a pre-sanskritic "gana"-pati.
