5.0 out of 5 stars I Have Abandoned My Search for Truth, and Am Now Looking for, October 13, 2000

This review is from: I Have Abandoned My Search for Truth and Am Now Looking for a Good Fantasy (Paperback)

Suitable for framing, for bumper stickers, for epitaphs, for anyone who thinks. This collection of "Pot Shots" inspires the reader to laugh out loud while simultaneously nodding in wise agreement. The brilliant Mr. Brilliant succeeds in arranging his pot shot thoughts into groupings which are then introduced with equally astute mini-essays on his observations of the human condition. He seems to say so much with so few words. Can we elect him to some public office?

I got hooked on Ashleigh Brilliant back when his books were in the bookstores. Then I packed the books away after memorizing them. Then one day I finally remembered his name and went online. Yeah!!

To me, he's even funnier than back then. My husband became hooked and then a friend. Better order your copy because I am stocking up for Christmas presents soon!

This is one of a series of books with cartoons that lampoon existential and spiritual issues in endearing ways.
