I dig Žižek, I really do, but Violence wasn’t cutting it for me. He’s easy to follow once you get his thought process down, but there were times where he was just trying too hard to make connections – jumping from Christianity, to Monty Python, to Freud…I mean, c’mon. Everything was connected but the segue’s weren’t the prettiest or most direct. Still an interesting read though, so I suggest picking it up if social commentary is your bag – otherwise, you’re not missing out on anything.
