Fun Thinking!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
What a wonderful book! I thoroughly enjoyed it - great fun and really gets your mind working. It has filled in all those gaps which would otherwise just have been wasted -bus, tube, waiting in bar for friends. Its great to dip in and out of. Only one problem - I am obviously going to have finished it well before Christmas! It would have been invaluable to stop the vegetation when just sitting around in the family scene. Fancy doing a sequel, Peter?
Great fun

Witty, great fun to read! This book proves that philosophy is not elitist, but intriguing for anyone interested to find out.
