Unexpected Consolation
It has not been long since I stumbled across Fabian's all time anthropology classic. Time and the Other. Another canonical book worthy of my attention! People talk about the book. It's commended, its author hailed. And as I hate Yetti books (in Daniel Dennett's words: "one of those books that is often cited by people who haven't read it but read about it, and think they know what is in it"), I immediatelly ordered it from my favourite trafficker in ideas.
The book arrived. Pretty slim. Good. Will not take long to read. I like essay-like condensed arguments (I enjoyed Barth's Cosmologies in the Making or Goody's The Domestication of the Savage Mind).
Not long after I had began reading it, Colin Hay's lyrics acquired a brand new meaning:
Alone between the sheets
only brings exasperation
Desperation...
...produced some action and I googled the book.
Ultimately, I found some consolation.
So if you face a similarly desperate situation go to Strong Reading.
You are not alone.
