I'll Try Again
When Kelly at Big A little a linked to a review of what she described as a "new philosophy book for teens," my first thought was "Oops. Sophie's World." And, sure enough, the first sentence of Melissa Katsoulis's review of If Minds Had Toes by Lucy Eyre begins "It's ten years since Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World became a vital tool in the parent’s fight against anti-intellectualism in their offspring..."
I thought Sophie's World would be a vital tool in the fight against my own anti-intellectualism. Unfortunately, I barely understood a word of it. All I can recall is a description of some philosopher going to a market, looking around, and saying something like, "So many lovely things I don't need."
And, yes, that does fit my own philosophy. But Sophie's World is a big book, and I was hoping to get a lot more than the verbalization of something I already knew.
Well, clearly I need If Minds Had Toes. I'll be looking for it.

Do you know the ghost gen? It is very interesting and if you have enough ghost online gen,you can be strong. So i often go to play the game to get more and more ghost gold, sometimes i can get the ghost online gold from my friends who i know in the game. However i like the game very much because of the ghost money, i want to play the game more often.
