What did they say: Great Minds on Small Things (Matthew Qyortrup)

#GreatMindsonSmallThings #NetGalley

I found this to be a rather idiosyncratic book but one that was quite interesting. It worked best for me when I dipped in for random small doses. Thisibook based on philosophy but delivered with the unique perspective of the author.

Organized by the alphabet, there are exactly what the title describes: Great Minds on Small Things. For example, with the letter B, the author thinks about de Beauvoir’s comment on her bath and takes off from there. Just a couple of other letters and topics to give the flavor would be L where there are entries on laziness and listening among others; for T there is Tea. So, if this sounds like your cuppa, give this one a look. For a bonus, there are illustrations.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Duckworth Books for this title. All opinions are my own.
