I'm more interested in some of the postmodernist writers and the theoretical works of Erving Goffman. The problem with most of the newer works is that they are impossible to understand. Reading some of the works of Habermas is about as difficult as Parsons, and I wouldn't recommend that on my worst enemy. Matt, m.hoover@csuohio.edu
