I should have read this book instead of listening to it. I probably would have a greater appreciation of the message, ( )

I think I borrowed this one from the public library, but I am not sure. I know I picked it up after someone recommended it to me.

Anyhow, see my note on it here:

Fun book, with some actual insgihts.

I wasn't crazy about The Facts of Life and Other Dirty Jokes but it wasn't for the style of writing. I just didn't much like the format. Therefore, I didn't exactly have high hopes for The Tao of Willie; man, was I surprised.

This small volume was an insightful, hilarious, and well thought out book that spoke strongly to me from even the goofiest of short anecdotes. The book is essentially a collection of advice ranging from the physical (breathe deeply, drink plenty of water) to the spiritual (no matter what religion you're practicing, it's still telling you to do the right thing) to simple admonitions to adhere to common sense (no one's normal and we're all crazy anyway.)

I finished the book in about two days and didn't get bored with it once. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for some good advice and some good laughs (and aren't they both the same thing, anyway?) A truly fantastic, entertaining, and insightful book. ( )

Great for fans. Interesting to read. ( )
