This is one for the pretentious liberal arts majors. Of which I am one, so I liked it. Basically the whole time I was reading this I felt like I was preparing for a class I'm not actually taking. Again: which I liked. I mostly read this because my friends Sophi and Tara made me read it, and I thought it was interesting that each of the 3 of us strongly identified with a different one of the 3 protagonists. (Mine was Mitchell, who tried to save the world and gave up after 3 weeks.)
