Philosophers, Math Nerds and Other Super Heroes

By Queuebot in Book & Lit on Feb 3, 2009 at 2:10 am


All the geek-lit coming out this week you need to know about.

(Required reading from this week’s pickin’s in the world of books…)

Who says philosophy majors never accomplish anything? Well, our fathers and guidance counselors and every woman who has ever slept with a philosophy major. But Simon Critchley’s Book of Dead Philosophers a compendium of the demises of great thinkers, is funny as hell and may have you reconsidering grad school.

    Sorry, I don't get this post - links to some books but without actually telling you why the books are interesting in the first place?

    You get to the site and nothing else is said. I wonder what filter would have prevented this.
