Ugh! From what I remember from when I TRIED to read it, it was a really heavy review of philosophy. I couldn't get through it. I was in my late teens at the time, but I don't think it's the kind of book you can just devour like some of these others.

loved philosophy (amosted double minored in it....but the logic classes and my LD's didn't mix!) so I suppose I will enjoy the book then?
I will prob check it out at the least and see if it's one to take to home!
Thanks again for responding ladies *hugs*

If you loved Philosophy you'll probably enjoy it. The book has individual sections that explain/review the basics of a lot of the world's most famous philosophers. Sort of a cliff's notes version.  I didn't think they were that dense, but I have a degree in Philo, and I guess I was older than Christine when I read it, so a lot of it was review for me.
But yeah, I can see how it would take a little longer than your average novel to get through. The other two books of his that I mentioned don't have this feature, so they do read a lot faster.

Yeah, for me, it wasn't the kind of book you just can't put down. I had to slow down and work a little harder, and I didn't care enough at the time to put that kind of energy into it.
Ruchie, I also love The House on Mango Street. If you've never read it, you must. It's a very poetic prose style about a girl growing up in a poor Latino neighborhood in Chicago. It's wonderful!
