Couldn't quite find the passion to keep the anti-blog up though, so here and http://quotejapan.wordpress.com are now the places to go!

I agree with what you have said above. I also find his general style of writing/ turn of phrase at points quite racist, and often quite astonishinly sexist. SO sexist. Just wanted to vent :) I find the number of positive reviews for this book a bit disturbing. I agree with what you have said above.

One thing though, how can you make yourself sit through a book that 'enrages' you so much? I struggle to last 5 mins or more when watching TV programs like that. I personally use French as a nationality when i get pissed off, ha ha ;) Damn that last quote is pretty crazy.
