Reading this (a classic) feels a little like watching a classic film. I know the main arguments already since they're now often treated as givens in most of what I read, and therefore how I understand the world. The original text however, provides a lot of evidence I lacked previously and a historical sampling that deepend my knowledge considerably.

Absolute romp!

Listened to the audio book after hearing I ought to read it from many different place, most compellingly, Jairus Grove. It was so good I had to listen to something else before bed because otherwise I'd get too excited and stay up. I wouldn't say I agree with Halberstam on a lot of his psychoanalytic arguments as I find them hard to substantiate, but it's very worth the read regardless since there is a lot more to the book.
