First I need to be sure you think, therefore you are.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I could recommend hundreds of philosophy books but I still haven't got round the basic question of whether or not they are actually books about philosophy! Or if indeed I actually went to the match this afternoon and didn't get caught up in a figment of my imagination.

Have a look on eBay for some bargain books - someone selling a job lot that you can pick up locally or a couple of 50p or a pound ones with cheap p&p. If it's not for you you can either sell them on or drop them off at the local charity shop.

I've just bought 20 psychiatry books off someone that's having a clearout -each one at the starting price of 50p! Got to pick them up from Trafford Park so will tie it in with a trip to the united museum with the kids during half term. Sorry, I mean War Museum ;-)

First 'YOU' must ask yourself the question, Who is the 'I' that is asking the question?
Then search for the sound of one hand clapping.

Then read this Think

Been a bit lazy and just downloaded 7 books on the kindle for free. Going to read the Bertrand Russell one first and see where that takes me.
