Plato and a platypus walk into a bar: understanding philosophy through jokes by Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein is just one of the books recommended by library staff for April. These are the favorite books we have read or, in the case of Plato..., listened to. Laugh out loud as you learn world philosophy. They call it philogagging. We don't all read nonfiction, science fiction fans may like Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks or read a book in Spanish La cocina del azafrán by Yasmin Crowther ; traducción de Encarna Castejón but if you prefer English, you're in luck The saffron kitchen.
