Should I buy “on the Vanity of Existence”? Or sign it out from the library? Or watch a YouTube video?

Get it from the library. If you really like it then you can buy it. You do realize that Schopenhauer was a philosopher, so it may not be light reading, and the title is not very uplifting. What made you decide on this book?

@LostInParadise Lurch read it on the Super bowl add for tax software. When it asked if he was “doing taxes for a deceased person?” Update I bought for free and free shipping from Amazon. My library only had one book for Arthur Schopenhauer.

@LostInParadise update:. I got the on the vanity of existence, not the vanity of existence. Also the character was Frankenstein not Lurch.
