FWIW, I took many postmodern theory classes in college. Read most of Foucault, Derrida, Lyotard, etc. Fun classes, because you could write incoherent term papers at the last minute if you used the right buzzwords, and get an easy 'A'. Organic chem & neuroscience were not so easy.

You read most of the entire corpus of works by Foucault, Derrida, and Lyotard? Or most of the assigned readings?
Most of their entire corpus. Not just the assigned readings. I found their literary style fascinating and thrilling, even when their ideas were incoherent.

Agreed. Good style is key.
