[Gary · Rating 3 out of 5]

I became acquainted with Roux through a friend of mine when we were doing a battle of quotes. He won, principally because of Roux. Over the summer I found the book where he found the quotes and read through it.

Read as a whole, the book is just so-so. But I would not recommend you read the book that way. Instead look at a page at a time. The book is in a style similar to Pascal's Pensee's, a collection of thoughts. A lot of them sound like truisms. But what is wrong with a truism? His collection allows you to think about what is true and take stock of who you are. As can be seen by my collection of his quotes, he is very quotable. For the collections, see my blog at: http://garys-books.blogspot.com/2013/... (the blog does not say too much more than what is where, except for the quotes.)
