Found this little gem at the book sale this winter. Seems appropriate to read it now after our study of The Odyssey. Some very positive reviews in Goodreads, so I'm optimistic about enjoying it. Here goes!

The author's dry sense of humor is a nice counter-balance to the philosophical musings on happiness.
