Review # 1 was written on 2007-06-21 00:00:00 Remington Chapman The most dizzying thing I took away from this book was the way our culture tries to force us to enjoy things, as if that is all there ever is, and if you are not in a constant mood of happiness and entertainment, then there is something wrong with you. This method of looking at enjoyment as a disease, one which we are constantly seeing and never able to reach, therefore causing all of us to feel that there is something wrong, is a lense I think about everytime I work the concession stand at the movie theater. I never want to tell someone to "Enjoy" again, because that is not a command!

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-09 00:00:00 Jordan Neant Enjoyment and its excessive nature, according to Lacan according to Zizek. Courtly love, that I resisted and resisted and still have not understood. Will not write here pretending to be anywhere near an expert, or even someone that can write a few lines about Zizek without a sense of embarrassment. It's an author that makes me grow, as a thinker; that makes me want to be smarter and read more. Sometimes, reading him is like a sort of intelectual poetry. And saying this is dumb, I know. Whenever I detect that I am not following what he says, I stop. Reading Zizek is, always, an exercise of self discipline.
