I bought As the Veneer of Democracy Starts to Fade a few months back, on the strength of Mark Stewart's reputation, and because I wanted to try something 'different'. I listened to it, didn't particularly enjoy it all that much, my flatmate came in. We got to chatting about why I was listening to it. I muttered something about wanting to "challenge" myself; "broaden my horizons" and, basically, came off looking like a bit of a twat.
Why, my flatmate said, didn't listen to stuff that I enjoy!
(The answer to this is, yes, because I want to enjoy MORE, but still, be aware of this counter-arg!)
