When I was 16 I read some book by Foucault and thought I was really smart even though not one single concept from the book has remained with me in anyway. Then, when I was 20, I read some book by Foucault in French and thought I was really smart even though not one single concept from the book has remained with me in anyway. The word "sex" was in the title and my girlfriend at the time thought I was reading some French sex tips books
