Fun and Funny

A Mathematician's Apology (Canto)
G. H. Hardy
Cambridge University Press
, 1992
One of my top 20. Somewhat depressing but oh so true.
This short book has long been one of my favorites. Hardy's philosophical musings may depress some but they ring so very true. Hardy is quite honest about life, art, mathematics, and his failing abilities. For example, his statement, that a very small minority of us ...

Hope comes in the form of a book

The Pilgrim's Regress: An Allegorical Apology for Christianity Reason and Romanticism
C. S. Lewis
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
, 1992
Read C.S. Lewis' first fiction
If the first fiction by Lewis you read is the seven volume Narnian set, the rest of his works can appear rather puzzling. Lewis said to Tolkien, there wasn't anything available of the sort of thing he liked to read, so he'd have to write it himself; arguably both ...
Plato, I, Euthyphro. Apology. Crito. Phaedo. Phaedrus (Loeb Classical Library)
Plato
Loeb Classical Library
, 1999
Useful for the specialist and the student
Like most volumes in the Loeb series, the emphasis is not on word-for-word precision in the translation, but on acheiving greater readability in broader terms. Since the original text in ancient Greek is provided on the facing page, the editors assume that anyone with ...

Seth Grahame-Smith
Quirk Books
, 2008
necessary and hilarious!
Very funny. I especially like the apology to the future. I hope these addresses are accurate because I'm going to spend a fortune on stamps sending these out (yes I will be mailing some of these for sure!)

Best Plato Textbook is a Superb Teaching Tool

Thomas G. West
,
Grace Starry West
Cornell University Press
, 1998
A Great Help for Teachers
This is an outstanding translation of these Greek texts. These are texts that many of us regularly teach in introductory classes, and it is a great help to have such a reliable translation: the translation is clear and accessible, but maintains an unusually strict ...

Hilarious doesn't begin to describe this!!
This has got to be the all time funniest thing I have EVER read! And I'm an English/Poetry grad student, I read a LOT! Besides the humerous stuff worth its weight in gold, it doesn't have to be read straight through, you can just open it to any random page and read ...
