Wild Animus

Finished this.



It is snowing very heavily tonight. So I guess it's sort of fitting that I finished this book now. Yesterday I mentioned to the Mouse that I wasn't overly impressed by this book. I'm actually reading an "Advance Reading Copy" that I bought from a library book sale. The book was released in 2004, and, from its web site it has garnered quite a following. I like that a group of CDs has been made by people that believe in the novel, that's really cool. I just wish the book itself had warranted this for me.

Signed,

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."
