I often toss around the idea of revisiting Houellebecq's The Possibility of an Island as it has been over fifteen years and I just recall that novel hitting me harder than any other I've read.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
