Noam Chomsky's Little Book of Selected Quotes: on Society, Capitalism, and Democracy

Great quotes from a brilliant mind
A little book of fantastic quotes. Great to have on a coffee table to pick up and read a quote, stimulates the mind

Bumper sticker Chomsky (or "Noam-lite")
A nice little book, perfect for providing an "aha!" idea and appreciable insight on almost every page. Best digested a couple pages at a time. A prolonged read reduces the impact of each individual quotation.As you would expect from a book of brief quotations, the depth of reasoning and the logical exposition associated with extended discourse are missing. Reading this brief book is an entirely different experience than reading, for example, one of his more recent books such as "The Precipice" or "Consequences of Capitalism" (both of which are five star reads).The reader gains the immediate gratification of exposure to brief, perceptive thoughts, but loses the richness and detail that is possible only with forceful, persuasive, extended dialogue.Highly recommended, but not as your first Chomsky, and not as your only Chomsky.
