"Geertz is an excellent writer -- he writes for the general public, anyone that is interested in anthropology should pick up this (or one of his others) book."
"I could just cry when I think about all the time I wasted in college. What was I doing? Where was I? My job, essentially, was to read stuff like this. Boggles the mind."
