Competing Wisdom Schools Face Off This Fall

Actually, I suspect there probably won’t be all that much overlap in the audiences for Mike Daly‘s Time Flies When You’re In a Coma: The Wisdom of the Metal Gods and Tim Birkhead‘s The Wisdom of Birds: An Illustrated History of Ornithology, but I did find it amusing that these two blads, for books that are coming out less than a month apart this autumn, should show up in my mailbox on the very same day.

2008 has been a good year for this particular title construction: We’ve already seen The Wisdom of Whores, The Wisdom of Donkeys, The Wisdom of Your Face, and an updated edition of The Wisdom of Harry Potter.
