Book Details
First Sentence
"When I was in college, my friends and I had an anecdote that we retold frequently; it went like this (and our retelling was so ritualistic that I suspect this is close to verbatim, forty-five years later): So, it seems that William James was giving a lecture about the nature of life and the universe."
