I don't think he does, since he probably just reads trashy NYT best sellers and Hegel

He read some Eco's novels and didn't like it so much.

He writes about Brigitte Reimann in one of his books, Living in The End Times I think.

This is a good list. Though it is missing "The Man Who Was Thursday" and "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" for "liked books". I also believe that "Nineteen Eighty-Four" would be in "disliked". It should also be noted that Zizek has made some positive remarks about Ayn Rand's fiction.

How hard did he go with them? I mostly just read the one Op-Ed and it seemed he was largely siding with the Greeks' vote against austerity, not strictly Syriza as a party. But, again, I haven't been following this nearly as close as I should be, so please enlighten me. I'd like to see how hardcore he advocated for them, and certainly know his opinion post-bailout agreement.
