Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong
So far, the book is proving to offer interesting insight in the mind of the north americans, not the french. I know the french. We're neighbours. I go there often. A couple of my best friends are french. France makes sense to me. The french make sense to me. The book, therefore, is for me an experience in reverse psychology - undestanding the mindset the authors come from that makes them write the way they do about the french. The things that surprise them or that they deem worthy of writing about are completely ordinary for me, but it makes me notice that for others this isn't so.
Some of the generalizations the book makes are not to my liking; neither are some of the oversimplified conclusions they reach.
Ok, it's clear I am not going to finish it. The prose was less than fluid and the authors' frame of mind eventually began to annoy me.
