Imperito Cognito!

After bemusing the possible dynamics of the aforementioned literary work, there is a possible conundrum between the civilities of modern progressive ideology and past marxo-realism. This fixates itself by properly realigning the over-stated political asylums of post-regressive truism. A parallel universe then exists between confounded pluralism and unfounded singularities of cognition. This then beckons the ponderance of man's own independence of separate dualities. A sort of presupposition, if you will. To be or not to be, that is in essence all.

Great for anyone who didn't go to college

For anyone who, like me, wasn't able to go to college and finds themselves a little clueless at parties when people start talking about politics, history and the like, this book is great. Several concepts are explained in ways that make you want to learn even more about them. The only thing I didn't like so much is the title, because it makes me feel like I have to "hide" the book because I don't want friends to see it on my bookshelf and know I'm cheating! It's not so much that I want to impress people as I don't want to sound like a complete idiot, but still, the title is good cause it caught my attention, and they DO give some great advice for how to handle yourself in a group discussion at a party, etc. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to feel a little more confident in discussions about cultural topics and the like.
