Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-09 00:00:00 Dane Thomson Only read if you are really interested in difficult descriptions of sociological phenomena. An easier read of these ideas would be in John Heritage's Garfinkel and Ethnomethodology.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-11-13 00:00:00 Craig Miller A failed project, but perhaps one of the most insightful social theory books that I've ever read. Not an easy read especially for sociology standards, but I highly recommend nonetheless. It's one insight after the next! And very powerful if you're looking for an interactionist alternative to Goffman and the symbolic interactionist gang.
