I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. Please let me know. j.
James, I CANNOT WAIT to read "Derrida for Beginners" and relive my senior English seminar, "Structuralism and Deconstruction." What a genius idea. Am clicking over to Amazon right now!
Thanks for adding me as a friend on goodreads, James. I wish I could read in another language like you can. One can be so limitted in their knowledge and experiences just by sticking with one language. I'm gonna have to work on that part.
None the less, good luck with your new forth publications. I'm sure they'll be an intriguing read.
