A psychedelic experience that I HIGHLY recommend is to read a lot of ethnomethodology over the course of several days and then go to Costco on the Friday afternoon before Christmas

Might give this a go. Is one hour explanation for every two paragraphs of Garfinkel the going rate? That would explain why that pulsar paper was such hard going.

There’s two obstacles to understanding. The interesting one is that you need to flip the way you see EVERYTHING inside out. The annoying one is learning the jargon. But that is not a big deal; the jargon is weird, but relative to any science field there’s not much of it.

I think one thing that's putting me off is that Garfinkel's particular brand of weird writing is just really not an appealing one for me. I am planning to give the Liberman book a go, and that Xerox printer technician one.

liberman is a WAY better writer - I’m not sure garfinkel have ever met an undergrad based on his writing (but I still love him)

My impression is that Garfinkel's writing is all addressed to an imaginary demon in his head called The Sociological Establishment (which did not concretely include any specific sociologists). It wasn't at all meant to be read by humans; it's esoteric demonological incantations.

This might seem ironic given that his essential method is to refuse to believe in abstract social categories because they are metaphysical spooks. Perhaps his whole career was an attempt to exorcise himself, and failed because he was giving the spook energy by attacking it.
