I dunno, people thought he was a genius, a great writer. I'll never know why.

I had a hard time making it through more than a few paragraphs before giving up. And I have two college degrees. It was as if Buckley convoluted his sentences on purpose. Injected seldom-used words whenever he could, as if that somehow made his points clearer to the reader.

Then again, a lot of people get IMPRESSED by fancy writing they don't really understand. Maybe by pretending to understand they think more of THEMSELVES. Why I read WFB!!!!

Just try and read Scientology or the Urantia book. And those books draw millions of believers. More babble that's incomprehensible even to someone who's read for a lifetime.
