Book in question: Philosophical Issues in Adventure Education.
As you can clearly see, the cover is atrocious. (Almost like my spelling of the word 'atrocious' before I used spellcheck.)

Upside down or not, this book's cover is still ugly. To add insult to injury, then people have to go and write long, boring books about nothing in particular. It makes me wonder if they had a point in the first place. Or maybe they were writing and their dog ate half the manuscript they started back in the 1890's, and they were only able to recover parts of words that they somehow tossed into the new book via incoherent sentences.




I had a friend once, who only read books with a picture of a dragon on the front. It had to do something with either hearing Puff the Magic Dragon as a small child, or reading a children's storybook about dragons as an adult. (Perhaps I would be amiss to use the term adult.) Anyway, we came up with an ingenious method of getting him to read the books he needed to by taping a picture of Trogdor to the cover of said books. Worked like a charm.



What's your favorite book? Why? Is it about Hobbits? Do I need to come to your house and tape a picture of cute, little Hobbits on books you need to read?!?



It's fascinating what some people are interested in. Even more so when you find a way to connect to others in ways that make sense to them. The human mind is so good at remembering great stories, especially one relates to one or more of the characters in the story. Jesus knew that, which is why he told so many parables... Tune in next time to hear the exciting conclusion!



P.S. I didn't actually read the whole book, I sort of just skimmed it, and that's when I did it... I read a page.
It might not be as bad as I made it out to be. Oh well. Regardless of any useful information the book may or may not contain, the cover is still ugly. Unfair? Yes, why yes I believe so.

A little ditty.





This is what I wanted to say, with a song.
