Crazytalk,
By Catherine Kudirka (ckudirka@247media.com) (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: History and International Relations (Routledge Advances in International Relations and Global Politics) (Hardcover)
This book is so wacky. I loved all the three and four syllable words. I've never taken acid or anything like that, but I think reading this book is a safe way to simulate the effects of LSD on the brain. You can always put it down and do something normal for awhile, which is not possible with most hallucinogenics, I'm told. I read words in this book that I didn't even know existed. It made me think of all those planets we don't know anything about, which might have life on them, that may or may not be friendly, but are probably interesting, and may eat foods not like the foods we eat, and play sports which we would not recognize the point of, here on Earth. I highly recommend this book, even if you know nothing about international relations or postmodernism. This guy must be a really cool guy. I'd like to have a drink with him one time. Hey Tomas! Are you as cute as those big words you use?
