Yesterday, I finished reading If at all Possible, Involve a Cow: The Book of College Pranks by Neil Steinberg. A number of times I was laughing out loud in what would have been an embarrassing way if anyone else had been around.
That said, the book left me with little in the way of ideas or principles to remember and use once I put the book down.
Particularly disappointing was the author's belittling of those who might not see the humor in a particular prank - most notably those pranks he was personally involved in.
In the end, the book is mostly a very fun read, but not much else. That said, I support the author's advocacy for more pranks in college (and would extend that to life in general).
