Grooks par Piet Hein

Very entertaining pieces. Some were on the funny side and others were more thought-provoking. Very enjoyable read.

Grooks par Piet, Hein

"Grooks" by Piet Hein was both a thoroughly impressive as well as hilarious read. This book is a collection of short poems, each only a few lines long, but they pack a powerful punch. The poems are witty, clever, and often thought-provoking.

What I really enjoyed about these poems is that they are easy to read and understand, yet they convey deep meaning and insight - and some are just plain amazingly funny! They are the perfect blend of simplicity in form and complexity in style. Each poem can be read and appreciated on its own, but when read together, they form a larger picture of the human experience. The humour and playfulness are pretty much unmatched.

Overall, "Grooks" is a delightful and engaging book that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick read that is both intellectually stimulating and entertaining. Whether you are a poetry lover or simply looking for some witty and insightful musings, this book is sure to satisfy.

Five stars out of five.

Grooks 1 par Piet Hein

Scott Rosenberg mentions Heins in his book Dreaming in Code; specifically, his grook:

“THE ROAD TO WISDOM
The road to wisdom?—Well, it’s plain
and simple to express:
Err
and err
and err again
but less
and less
and less.”

I’d read some grooks before and loved them, so off I went a looking. Love it. Delightful collection of insightful simple verse that appeals to me. I tagged more than a few to dole out to my friends.
