Thé best

When I read or listen to contemporary fiction my biggest question is What’s the genre of this book? Maybe it’s a discussion question

Into it; learning a lot; brutal and real

Well I finally know what morphemes are as a result of this book; sure make fun of me. What do you know

Dunno how I feel abt this book; tho the plot has definitely thickened. We will see how it pans out

Interesting book—intrigued and fascinated w the way the case is made here, and provoke lots of thought abt relations btw theory and practice

It’s awesome; this violent scene—this philosophy..

Clearly a philosophical novel w lots of speeches on aesthetics—whatever that is

Paradoxes abound

Ok no doubt best book on conversation I’ve done in a while; all artistry—philosophes and novelistes. Modernists, up through talk show hosts; Jane Austin and Henry James. Excellent

There are so many books like this but—this one is superb because it talks abt food and drink and philosophy and France and literature

Actually in no way surprised to find in this book things that make me think abt fluxus, art movements, happenings, and man and his becoming according to the Vedanta

I appreciate this book—reckoning w my own parenting, trust of my own children; and even into my forties thinking abt my own parents and everybody’s childhood. Tho doing this after “how minds change” is an experience

This book is an interesting experience for me. I like a lot of it—narrative, big picture, synthesis of a lot of diff books on changing minds. Avails me lots of historical precedent in the scholarship around persuasion, influence, attitude, epistemology, etc. Yet when he gets to a technocratic method I wanna dismiss it

Im thinking abt Carl Rogers and therapeutics right now

Look, I keep thinking abt the true history of so and so educational intervention as presented in the scholarly and academic style which, in some absurd way, seems to exempt it from the flattery of rhetoric. P much all my view of epistemology and science—literature too—is in (or from) this book
