Why read it?

1 author picked Love Voltaire Us Apart as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m a big philosophy fan, but I also appreciate anything that can poke fun at the great philosophers. I’m also generally a bit of a romantic disaster, and this book manages to weave together philosophical insight, wit, and dating advice (good or not) to create a thoroughly entertaining read. Most importantly, you’ll feel very smart reading it.

From Ginny's list on humor to make you laugh out loud.
