I saw Zizek's new one Living in the End Times on the shelf the other day - have you read it? Where is a good place to start with Zizek, if one has not read much philosophy?
I really like his movie reviews. :) On Violence is quite short and readable, and not much of a commitment. Just don't start with In Defense of Lost Causes; I believe he's basically trollin'.
Thanks for this. I've been working my way through Oscar Wilde's complete works and had no interest in "The Soul of a Man Under Socialism" until this video.
