Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar:

Understanding Philosophy through Jokes

Finished this.



Wow. This was no Mary Roach book, but it was funnier than hell. It's a small volume, and a quick read. A very nice reminder of what it was that I was thinking as I went through my college times and happenstanced myself into a Philosophy minor as an undergrad.


P.S.

As an aside: Although it was never mentioned in the book, the most sticking philosophical quote I remember from my learnings in college was: "Berkeley was a madman."
