Thanks. But I don’t that’s fixable in my friends case. It’s a long story :P

While I find the book to be written in a sarcastic tone, some people take it at face value. Your friend might be among them and enjoy the read in a very different way.

Choice quote: "and if he emerges victorious from a contest, he owes it very often not so much to the correctness of his judgment in stating his proposition, as to the cunning and address with which he defended it. "

Thanks... even though you suggested it for my friend, I think I'll just read it myself.

He's extremely intelligent (which makes his irrational tendencies more annoying hahaha), but he simply doesn't read anything I give him. Oh, well :P
