"On Having No Head" - he points out that we've never actually seen our heads. And finds enough material there for a whole book! It has a few laugh-out-loud moments...it's quite clever. But that's all.

I just thumbed through it again and did find a neat quote: "The foolish reject what they see, not what they think; the wise reject what they think, not what they see." -- Huang Po (9th C.)

Oh, wow, I've not heard that book mentioned in ages. I first read it in the late 1980's... still have my paperback copy somewhere.

I found it rather profound, although of course that says more about me than the material.
