Ahh, so the trick is to *pretend* that you've actually
read the text, and then slowly steer the topic towards
some book or text you read in college or somewhere. Thus
impressing the list readers with ones clever wit, bitting
sarcasm and jaded worldview.
I get it now. Hell, this saves both time and effort. Why
read at all when we can simply skim the bountiful contents
of the wonder-web!
So anyway, I'm just going to make stuff up about Kristeva and
see if anyone notices.
