The title is a bit of a misnomer: this is a philosophical inquiry that explores the narrator’s introductory interests in Western philosophy, his brief “lateral drift” into Eastern philosophy, but mainly and most frequently, his metaphysical musings on Quality. It is also a beautifully reflective father/son road trip novel that delves into the narrator’s troubled past. ~ Reviewed by Joe Michon-Huneau

Reading Taleb is often disorienting as he challenges core beliefs underpinning modern Western culture. It can also be frustrating as he jumps around from one idea to the next, causing the equivalent of intellectual whiplash. Skin in the Game is no exception. But, ultimately, the extra effort and commitment required to read the book – like taking a cold shower – is bracing and thus eminently worthwhile. Dare to read this book. ~ Reviewed by Sam Baker

This philosopher easily expresses life and existentialism through the eyes of a surfer, that's as complex as it is simple--like surfing through the waves. ~ Reviewed by Alex Bell

"Ideas are interesting, but people are vastly more so."
Sit back, relax, and sip soundly on apricot cocktails while Sartre, Beauvoir, Camus, and other minds craft the beginnings of existentialism, as Bakewell guides you through time, commenting along the way with a modern perspective and deep knowledge of her subjects. ~ Reviewed by Alex Bell

Can't tell your being from your nothingness? Fear not. Bakewell takes the thinking of European lovers, pill addicts, prisoners and occasional Nazis and turns it into a fascinating, provocative and at times hilarious read. Quite simply wonderful!!

This intense discussion drills down the question " Why is there something rather than nothing?" Past and present philosophers argue and split hairs. In addition to a great historical perspective on the evolution of thought, the reader gets a refresher course on great minds. Dense but fascinating, this book nearly succeeds in answering the question. ~ Reviewed by Karen Frank
