Beware Books By Britons 
My title sums it up: While this is not a long book, it feels almost interminable; like eating a healthful meal which has the taste and consistancy of sand. This impression may be caused by the fact that it was written in a different era, or in a genre (the personal essay) in which the twists and turns of the author's thought become as important as his conclusions. I personally find this tedious.
Wilson's book is a good introduction to a large number of authors and their postitions; but it is uninspiringly written, and he is left with conclusions that are unhelpful for daily life.
The Outsider 
I like this book, it is weird and a hard read, but I am a strange person.
A GREAT BOOK 
This book is really worth reading for yourself.
No need to pay heed to the morons who think the AUTHOR doesn't understand his material, or that his material uses too much mysticism. READ it for YOURSELF and make YOUR own evaluation.
