Format:Hardcover
This is a great little book to read when you are looking for illumination by humanity's intellects and wags. Shanahan has done a good job of editing these into topical sections. My only complaint with the book is that the editor decides to include a number of his own thoughts among the "Most Brilliant". Now he is a smart man, to be sure, but it is just a little too prideful to include yourself in such a book. His first self quote appears on the very first page of quotes. What his self inclusion does do, however is illustrate the difference between the truly brialliant thoughts and those that aren't. Shanahan's editorial job is delightful, his self promotion to most brilliant embarassing for him at best.

This book lends the perfect quip for every occasion, from ironic to inspirational. Light reading for times when you want to be amused. I liked it so much I ordered a second copy to give as a gift!

Mr. Shanahan has once again brought literacy to the masses. After creating and producing the wildly successful "Hooked on Phonics", he's compiled a book of spectacular quotes that enables even the least eloquent of us look like a Harvard scholar. Of particular interest are the sayings created by this brilliant entreprenuer. No library or bookshelf should be without this book.
