Title: "a greater enemy to the truth than lies"
Review: First, let me clarify that _On Bullsh*t_ is a philosophical essay, and not a book on humor. Frankfurt attempts to analyze what BS is, and more importantly, how it is fundamentally similar to and different from a lie.As philosophy goes, its pretty easy reading. The analysis is easy to follow, and I tend to agree with many of his conclusions: among them, that we accept BS more readily (and with better humor) than a lie; that someone spreading BS is more concerned with him/herself than the truth, and that the production of BS is stimulated whenever a person speaks beyond their knowledge.Its a short, interesting read, and somewhat humorous (in a dry sort of way). Of its greatest importance, though, is that it will get you thinking about BS - who is giving it, who is taking it, and why. Recommended.
