The brevity of the essays make this book a superb reader to 'dip into' for moments of fun and enjoyment.
If this (like much of Sowell's work) were to be on a list of mandatory reads for all college students the world would be a better place for it.
The only negative was the feeling of disappointment as I drew to the end, knowing that I was going to be without Sowell's wit and wisdom until my next read.
TLDR: profound and hilarious!
