And, my answer would have to be--why not? Isn't it the \"in\" thing? The pressure is on to be an intellectual or at least to present a façade of intellectualism to a curious and waiting world. Unfortunately, there are many interesting things to do today that are vastly more relaxing and entertaining than the serious pursuit of knowledge. However, you can, by following the tips in my book, \"bake your cake and eat it too.\" You can become an instant intellectual in a matter of a few hours (two hours?). Your family and friends will be astonished. You will be pleased and not at all exhausted by tiresome mental effort. Instant intellectualism is for the modern individual who would rather be happy than to think deep thoughts. A humor book for everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMarcia Muth is also the author of \u003cem\u003eA World Set Apart, Memory Paintings\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eWriting and Selling Poetry, Fiction, Articles, Plays \u0026amp; Local History\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eHow to Paint and Sell Your Art\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eIndian Pottery of the Southwest\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eKachinas, A Selected Bibliography\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eMa Frump's Cultural Guide to Plastic Gardening\u003c\/em\u003e which won a first place award in the 2008 New Mexico Book Awards; \u003cem\u003ePost Card Views and Other Souvenirs, Poems\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eFake Ivory, New and Selected Poems\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eSticks and Stones and Other Poems\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThin Ice and Other Poems\u003c\/em\u003e; and \u003cem\u003eWords and Images, Poems\u003c\/em\u003e, all from Sunstone Press.
