I am by no means leaving this unfinished because I didn't like it. While it's very wordy and intellectual, it's still quite interesting and definitely gives me a lot of ideas for future work. Unfortunately, I am borrowing it and have to return it after reading only a few of the essays. I look forward to actually finishing it.
