We had these two in class who in the tests in non-science subjects always handed in 10+ pages in which they said many great things but used as much words as possible to express their thoughts. One time, after having to correct like 15 pages each from them our history teacher said 'What is up with you? Do you orgasm every time you write something?'

I had to think of this while reading this book. Except that only about half the time there's good thoughts beneath all the waffle, the other half is just crap.

Na das waren mal zwei Kapitel mit seltem inhaltsleerem Geschwafel...

This is oddly disjointed. Sometimes it's a biography of a single person, then one of a whole family, then a political analysis...and the author feels quite present in the book which I'm really not used to in biographies (but then I usually don't read biographies of people where the author still has the opportunity to interview family-members and other people close to the subject so some interference has to be expected...sometimes it's a bit much, though).

I bought this to celebrate the fact that I passed my final oral exam. Sometimes I think I'm a bit odd.
