بعضی کتاب ها را فقط برای یک بخش خاص می خوانیم. حسرت آنجایی است که وقتی آن بخش را می خوانی میفهمی با چه گوهری طرفی ولی وقت نداری کل کتاب را بخوانی من سه چهار تا از یادداشت‌های این کتاب را خواندم و واقعا عالی بودند اما اصلش به خاطر یادداشت بودریار بر فتوای امام خمینی درباره سلمان رشدی خواندم و واقعا جال Leggi tutto
