As usual, there's some I liked, some I didn't, and some I just didn't understand.

One author below, Benjamin De Casseres is noteworthy for having critical praise as writing 'proto-Dadaist rhetoric' and as 'The American Nietzsche.' It's been 2-3 months since I read that Wikipedia article, and I still can't fit those two idea together at all.
