Reviews

"Full of mental challenges, quirky thoughts, and slap-upside-the-head one-liners, this book would make for good bathroom reading." "Louis Dvoretzky has compiled an interesting bit of reading that, taken in small doses, could possibly make one think, laugh, groan, smirk, acknowledge his wisdom...Well done!" "Hilarious," Ingenious," "Amusing and well done," "A work of art! Isn't it interesting what can be done with words when you view them somewhat askew. I got many a chuckle, not only from the wordplay but also from the sage advice contained in some of the items. Particularly applicable to me was: "He who unintentionally puts off procrastination may accidentally get something done," and "Give me liberty or give me chocolate." From a 14-year-old girl: "This is my favorite book and you are my favorite author."
