My Beautiful Despair

Based on the Twitter account, the book is a curation of Kim Kierkegaard's tweets, and it does not disappoint, drawing plenty of laughs from visiting company who notice the perfect coffee table book.

Expensive for a thin book of humour

Who knew philosophy and dark despair could be so entertaining? Nietzsche and Plato and Schopenhauer would laugh. Kant, probably not.

This is the self-awareness of one that has drowned in melancholy more than once.Now I need to read Kierkegaard.

I love this stuff. Hilarious, witty, and insightful.The only real problem with the book is how short it is. You can read the whole thing in about 20 minutes. You can read more than these online. Half of them are included in the promotional reviews I read about the book.Really what your buying here is a mediocre introduction and illustrations. The illustrations are fine but I felt like they didn't add all that much. I think your better off just spending half an hour on Twitter.
