Forgoing any vis polemica, and having been a reviewer myself for years, and still being an occasional one, I have found that a good modus operandi is to ask oneself whether of not the author, or film director, or musician, has achieved what he or she set out to achieve. If that has been the case, then one's agreeing or disagreeing with their approach or ideas is beside the point. Materialists will have trouble with THE METAPHYSICS OF PING-PONG because, here and there, it deals with things that do not meet the eye. But guess what: they exist, and that's why, among many other things, we wash our hands! Moreover, there is quite a bit of humor in the book, starting with the title. Having said that, I wish you and your blog, which I have been following for years now, the very best.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681615032120319630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970569328265348295.post-32180618704885752542016-01-01T14:44:48.837-08:002016-01-01T14:44:48.837-08:00Happy 17th Birth Day! :) Happy 17th Birth Day! :) widdershinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04205462833259334647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970569328265348295.post-80917344282996509242015-10-27T03:32:00.261-07:002015-10-27T03:32:00.261-07:00Love the sample.
