"The dude refers to himself in the third person, All readers and subjects are male (it was written around WWI) And it's badly written. At first I blamed myself but I really broke it down - pics, charts,arrows - and nah... When brilliant writers like Calvino or Zinn write about abstract theory it's engaging. This is written masturbation. Wiki the summary. Needless to say- won't be finishing it." — Oct 20, 2015 08:44AM
