If you are like me then you looked at the title of this book and thought to yourself, what in the world is an epigram.  I like to consider myself well read, but this is one type of writing that I was unfamiliar with.  Since I like to try new things I looked up the term epigram in the Merriam Webster dictionary and found that it means “a terse, sage, or witty and often paradoxical saying,” and “a concise poem dealing pointedly and often satirically with a single thought or event and often ending with an ingenious turn of thought.”  After finding out what the term meant I decided to give Epigrams by Larry W. Phillips a shot and I was glad that I did.Phillips breaks his epigrams up into categories for the reader to enjoy.  Readers of all types can enjoy witty sayings pertaining to Evil, Politics & World History, Phoniness, Youth & Adulthood, Victims, Happiness & Unhappiness, Death, Exercise & Health and so much more.  The wide variety of topics ensures that there is something for most readers to connect to. This was a great read.
