Yes, I saw (and appreciated) your post but was Not Feeling Smart that day so didn't comment. I have a feeling they're both a bit heavy for me, though Chomsky sounds more like my style (nice mathsy axioms and all that :))
Something which made my Phd extra annoying is that I'm quite remarkably bad at reading dense prose, even if I'd be fine with the ideas written in a more digestible style. Given that even people who like dense philosophy are scared off by Foucault I do not relish the idea of reading him myself! I mean to try digging through some of these at some point, hopefully get at similar ideas in a more me-friendly way.
