She's fearless and energetic, she uses big words and concepts without putting her readers into boredom-induced comas, she has a sense of humour, and she is as interested in Britney Spears as she is in Derrida - which is something that a lot of people in her position simply would not admit (because they're giant, insufferable snobs, that is). ❋ Unknown (2009)
