I tried to read ZATAOMM once. Admittedly, I was very young, but I distinctly remember it being a massive bunch of arse.

I had it assigned to me as a college sophomore and while maybe it was just young, good College Republican SKO's disdain for hippies that led me to this conclusion I can't remember it as anything other than pretentious gobbledygook.

All we need is TJ and Morph calling this book socialist bullshit and everyone will be completely living up to their Desipio stereotypes (archetypes?).
By the way, 20-something hippie/socialist Oleg loved every word of this book and had read it multiple times.

I would have to read it again now that I'm basically a radical leftist by Iowa standards but I feel like my hatred for it would still stand up.
