Final Session

Really sorry to be so long in posting this image, but you all have the idea by now I hope. This big book is truly amazing, so if you think you've bought a pup, forget it. Some of you will notice it's extraordinary structure, and hopefully enjoy it. It really is a sublime piece of commentary on 'Modernity' (our purpose) and when I first read it, in a cottage in Ireland in the middle of nowhere, Julie couldn't believe I'd 'got it' in less than a week. You have to dip in to this thing, not read it like Tolstoy. If you are under pressure elsewhere then 'save it for later' as they say. Just for now read the chapters 'Tin Lizzie' (Thin Lizzy?!-sic) Architect (FLW) and finally 'The Bitter Drink'. The final one really tells you what happens when you take things seriously.
I'm looking forward to Friday's last session, I hope you will drag your hangovers from the school party to the session for some mental nourishment.
Thank you for being a very engaging group of students. Remember nothing can be resolved, only continual effort in everyday life to do the right thing, and also, above all, understand that 'Theory fucks you up' and that it's good for you!
luv
Paul
