33. "You Don't Have to Be Buddhist to Know Nothing" by Joan Konner
Konner, Joan. You Don’t Have to be Buddhist to Know Nothing: An Illustrious Collection of Thoughts on Naught. Prometheus Books, 2009. Print.
333 pages
Reviewed by J. d’Artagnan Love
You Don’t Have to be Buddhist to Know Nothing is a collection of quotes about nothing from various famous individuals. The quotes are lifted out of context and are unconnected and, generally, have little to do with Buddhism as the title suggests.
Save yourself some time. Go to an online search engine and search the terms “nothing,” and “quote” and you’ll have this book. It is not worth the read and certainly not worth your money.

Well does this book have anything to do with buddhism, cause I feel that the title is sorta intended to insult Buddhists
No, it does not have anything to do with Buddhism, and the title is really misleading--almost offensive.
