A book I havent read.

Have you ever talked about a book, even in class, that you have not read? It's a great experience to do that. You think about the author and begin to say things that do not make sense in the thread of the talk. Then suddenly you understand that you have just done what everyone does when they do not know...reflecting quickly on very little knowledge. You feel like a hypocrite and you shut up. Then you have an idea that was aroused by the comments other people had said. You say something that makes sense in the context, but not necassarily to you. You convince everyone around you that you are smart because you are only smart enough to show only the smart-side-of-the-moon. By now the conversation had gone somewhere interesting...people get evidence for what they are saying from the book. You think of how stupid you are to have not read it and you walk out of class having fooled everyone but yourself!!...
