don't get me started on that book...
I'm only up to page 40 and I'm already wrankling a lot (I'm only reading it because it was on the secondary literature for my course, and I liked the sound of it.) The description of modernism as (I can't find the exact quote) "a means of deliberate obfuscation of the common man" is just... grrr.
