I think you would have found sociology agreeable. The chapters jump right into the heart of the matter and do not cause you to stray wondering--spelled with an 'o' not an 'a'--as 'stray' would have clued you in, ... and I wouldn't suggest psychology. Why not? You'd pass out in the hallway fronting the classroom door. You're still young enough, and you should give sociology the benefit of your doubt to its full measure. Why did you tell me--back to school, me, I mean I'm not like you. Jane stop. Don't measure me to you, but measure yourself owned outright--firstly, by not putting yourself down. Why sociology? Because of your verbal reactions to my points relating to the matter. Yours is one of wonder--again spelled with an 'o,' you'll quickly learn how not to swim endlessly in a goldfish bowl wandering--with an 'a,' going from end to end realizing no corners that would bear points, reasons going in a circled bowl, wondering, now with an 'o,' of an open ocean, and endless swims each bearing a point of interest to a goldfish, who's now left to wander----------with an 'a'-----------smart girl. The goldfish scenario is a hopeful suggestion, unlike Clint's objectives. Why say it like that? Well, I'm flattered ... to be used, Jane! And, I am not placing that vacant ruse in the brevity of our encounter, for I am including you Jane, and the five times that fellow workers made that arduous journey to your Shang-Gri-La invitee and our office poor water cooler, ... had to cool down. That Sociology book, though it's been a few years, it should still be in use or at least in circulation, that is, if you pass on the sitting purview.
