I had to read a chapter from this for university years ago. I revisited it today and it brought back a flood of memories, mostly of me trying to make sense of jargon filled articles. I almost got through a page of reading this today and was lulled into deep sleep. Why can't academic writers just say what they want to say clearly and concisely. He had an opportunity to actually say something but wrapped his ideas in inaccessible language. If you are having trouble sleeping I recommend reading this, the sheer frustration of wanting the man to say plainly what he has to will exhaust you and create conditions perfect for a nap.
