She writes with a writhing, in-your-face, take-no-prisoners style which is so much fun to read you will find her hard to put down--I read most of Vamps and Tramps standing in the bookstore aisle.

 | Underspin (25) 08/15/2003 | I believe reading Paglia is especially vital to contemporary college students, particularly social sciences and humanities majors, in order to balance the politically correct thought reform they all-too-often recieve throughout much of their higher education. Through the use of irony, wit, esoteric history, anthropology, psychology, classic literatuture, pop-culture, sarcasm, common sense, reason and unflinching grounded principles, she challenges the trite, cliched, superficial intellectual assumptions of today's academic and cultural elites. Her highly unique, challenging, abrasive, in-depth analysis will set your mind ablaze, altering your perceptions beyond previous recognition.
