I have read it and did an interperative psychological analysis on it in college. Barf. What a sophomoric tome.
Precisely. It is almost by definition sophomoric.
That is why it is worth reading, because you will find yourself finding the same thing elsewhere, and you will know where this sort of mindset comes from.
Your post 10 above said you never got to the end
of the book.
Why don't you try reading it now when hopefully
you have matured enough not to be bored with
an intellectual challenge.
