I like this:

One thing that I'm tired of reading in these reviews is how difficult it is to read 20th-century French philosophers, how they're all a bunch of obscurantists with no substance, etc., etc. I like clear prose as much as the next guy, but to dispose of an entire (very important) movement of thought because the writing isn't aesthetically pleasing is anti-intellectual snobbery.
