Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates: using philosophy (and jokes) to explore life, death, the afterlife, and everything in between by Thomas Cathcart & Daniel Klein 245 pp.
This was another one with a title that grabbed me as it lounged with the other new audiobooks. It's a humorous and yet serious romp through everything mentioned in the title, with jokes. The authors look at philosophical views of death, etc. from the Pre-Socratics to modern philosophers. Interspersed in the explanations are apropos humorous quotes from Woody Allen, Bill Maher, Groucho Marx, and many many more. It's an interesting look at lots of different points of view. I'm glad I chose to listen to it rather than read it.
