How I Became Stupid by Martin Page

This book is really interesting. I believe it was originally in French. Anyway, it's about a guy named Antoine who is tortured by his own intelligence and tries to get rid of it in various ways. He tries being an alcoholic, considers suicide, and finally gets rid of all his intellectual stuff and starts working for the stock market. Of course, that doesn't work, so he finally finds himself back where he started . . . but different somehow.

It's not the best of books, and it's not one you should base your philosophy on (as if any of you would), but it is worth a look, if only because it gives you a great idea of how other people see the world. Yep. That's about the gist of it.
