Hey folks,

Hi everybody. Good to be back after a slight... break from checking the list. "Because the list (the list) was all I missed, because the list (the list) was all I missed, because the list was all I missed each and every night"

Let's not get too upset about lil Jimmy Wood jr and his views on GR & TRP. It makes me think of that line by Bourdieu: 'Taste classifies and (simultaneously) classifies the classifier.' The strategy of attacking the icon-giant is not new. Does he think it will get him to Harvard? Good luck Danny boy! And keep up dem fine reviews.

We can write this off with the Paul Coelho comment. Dunno Schneider probaly isn't even aware of how his attack feeds into the fame of the object he would apparently have trampled under foot.

mc otis

ps. one need not embrace the term 'postmodernism' or the concepts or ideas it supposedly entails, in order to understand a book that is labeled (perhaps inaccurately) by that term.
