Amusing survey of concepts in philosophy, illustrated by jokes. I confess to a tendency to skip to the jokes, but I didn't miss much -- it actual text was fairly sparse.
My boss would probably hate this book. He’s a big fan of David Denby’s Snark, and thinks bitchy criticism is the devil. I think it’s hilarious, especially when it’s being dealt out by a clever writer like Ebert. (I specify clever writer because, although I enjoy Ebert’s reviews very much, I don’t always agree with his taste in movies. In that I tend to like even fewer of them than he does. If this were my book, it would be called I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie, and Yes, That One Too.) Hopefully I’ll be able to get my hands on the second volume at some point, because reading a good excoriation of a stinky piece of crap is like a balm on my withered old snarky soul.
