A charming and quirky little book. Easy to read and worth it—learned a lot of information in a short amount of time. May have a few fun facts to pull out of thin air when I hear one of these names mentioned now.

I've known Andrew for years and was excited to hear that he was publishing a book. Naturally, I had to read this. It's an excellent read, a little bit of the entertaining history and a little bit of humor.

This book. So great. And oddly uplifting. And only a little mean.
Albert Camus: "To love someone means to be willing to age with that person. I am not capable of such love." Mean, but true. Seneca the Younger: "Chastity merely implies ugliness." Just mean.

the translation, at times, was a little bit clunky and too literal. had to skip the translated section of the extensive quotes bc i'm too stupid to connect concepts to the "current" philosopher being discussed

Auirky, snarky, silly, and not too leering a look at philosophers who could have had it better in the long term relationship department.

This just goes to show that being a so-called "lover of wisdom" doesn't make you so wise after all. (from someone who is finishing their degree in philosophy.)

Another giveaway from RT Magazine, this is a collection of mini-chapters about philosophers and their love lives. It is a fascinating collection of some very strange people with stranger ideas about love and marriage and relationships. A great quick read that may have you rethinking some of the people schools hold up as role models.
