Macho Meditations (1997) by Daniel Klein and Thomas Cathcart
An uproariously funny daily inspirational guide for manly men. Ralph and Reggie--two regular, blue-collar buds from Boston--offer one-a-day mcnuggets of affirmation, inspiration, manly wisdom and earth-shaking epiphanies from the end of the bar on the inner issues that truly matter--everything from sex to sports to sex to imported vs. domestic to sex to the meaning of life. Radio giveaways.

Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar: Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes (2007) by Daniel Klein and Thomas Cathcart
Here’s a lively, hilarious, not-so-reverent crash course through the great philosophical traditions, schools, concepts, and thinkers. It’s Philosophy 101 for everyone who knows not to take all this heavy stuff too seriously. Some of the Big Ideas are Existentialism (what do Hegel and Bette Midler have in common?), Philosophy of Language (how to express what it’s like being stranded on a desert island with Halle Berry), Feminist Philosophy (why, in the end, a man is always a man), and much more. Finally—it all makes sense!
