This was a pretty fun book - a collection of short vignettes on a bunch of different philosophers, such as Karl Marx, Thomas Aquinas, and Soren Kierkegaard. Most of it was the type of stuff you would find in an introductory course on philosophy, but told with a strong sense of humour and a willingness to be irreverent regarding its subject matter (something that I think is essential for any book on philosophy geared towards ‘the masses'). Recommended.
