If you have a mind, mind this book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Grooks (Hardcover)
Piet Hein, scientist and mathematician, is one of the remarkable minds of the twentieth century. His Grooks are among the wittiest, most unobvious, most thought-provoking, most pleasing epigrams anywhere. They take the form of short rhymes, usually good-humoured, always unpretentious, always rewarding. They are easy to read and always enjoyable. They are widely known, but I cannot understand why they are not universally known. They have given me and my family, and friends to whom we have shown them, great pleasure, and we are grateful and admiring.

Live while you've got life to live,

This review is from: Grooks 5 (Library Binding)
The Grooks of Danish multitalent Piet Hein belong on everyone's bookshelf. And they deserve to be taken out and read in. And to be thought aboutThe amazing genius of Piet Hein is that his thoughts about life, about the small and the big things - but never unimportant things! - are short and at first sight simple, yet they say more than a Ph.D. thesis on Philosophy. Therefore even the most illiterate will be happy about every single dime she or he spends on a Piet Hein book. Of course you get more for the money if you buy his collected Grooks.
