Wow, that's good.

That's the most clear work of his I've ever read. Have you tried to read his classic works? Very round about in his way of getting to the point. Takes ten chapters to adjust to his way of writing. You can't be reading anything on the side while you read him. He's a good writer to be sure, but in his case I think a lot was gained in translation.... but maybe I'm just not smart enough to read his works right.

He's best digested in quotes I think or maybe I too am not smart enough or too lazy.
