It's one of the most illuminating books I've ever read.

I came here to post this very thing :(

the prefix "dis" is a reversing or negating prefix, whereas "anti" means opposing or against.  Antidisestablishmentarianism would refer to a belief that one opposes those who seek to negate a given authority.

I wish someone would make an actual faithful-to-the-books version of The Dresden Files :(
