For more pure gold like this, read the pleasure of finding things out, Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman and What do you care what other people think
You would love the version by Birk and Sanders. It is very faithful to the original while being completely modernized. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0811842134
Highly recommend this book - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Risk-The-Science-Politics-Fear/dp/0753515539 - one of those rare books that really, truly changed my outlook on the world.
The book of his letters is amazing. Amazon link so you can read the synopsis etc.

yes, nothing can be pure original. Even the artist emotions are responses to stimuli that have shaped their opinion. It might be a unique perspective since there might not be many in a similar situation, but i bet if people dig around- they will find that others share their predicament.
Read "The Black Swan" by Nassim Taleb; great book and he talks about all the failures that no one sees- it leads to optimism.
The people I'm talking about do hold Ph.D's and teach in prestigious universities. Bullshitting is as an ingrained feature of intellectualism.
This comes from his espn2 articles; many of which were compiled into Hey Rube and it is a very good read.
Can I offer you a nice book recommendation in this trying time?

Glad you like it, sorry though, I don't know of any online versions.
Edit: I know it's a late edit, but this is the book I got the quote from.
I saw this in a 'Life in Hell' (I think this particular compilation was 'Love is Hell') comic strip a few years before the Simpsons. Still Matt Groening tho, and still funny.

Just spoke with him. It is indeed an original. He's a Nietzsche scholar if that makes any difference.

When you have a chance grab a copy of this book. I've read it a dozen times. I just bought 4 more copies as Christmas presents for all my grandchildren old enough to read

If you just want to get a gist of the thoughts without a lot of back story, etc. What Would Buddha Do? is a good start. One thing that really stuck with me is to not be irritated with foolish people for being foolish - like fire that burns - they know no other way.
Another good one is Essential Buddhism: A Complete Guide to Beliefs and Practices. For when you're getting more serious about it.
