A review by damsorrow
The Book of Dead Philosophers by Simon Critchley

3.0

Does what it says on the tin, which unfortunately does not include much by way of synthesis, especially in the face of 190 (really) individual synopses. Which is a pain because Simon Critchley's voice is funny, warm, interesting, and I would very much like to buy him a drink. I have been reading this book all day and now I am writing like he does. Hello guys, I'm Simon Critchley.

I still want my epitaph to be a lyrical excerpt from Prince's "Darling Nikki:" "Thank U 4 A Funky Time/Call Me Up Whenever U Want 2 Grind."
