zizek.... i love you but you're tearing me apart!!!!!
there was some really interesting stuff in this, but for some reason I found it really hard to get through. i love the way zizek writes but a lot of this seemed very inconsequential. the beginning and end was great, the middle draaaaaaaged way too much
