It's a great book. The first section was a bit slow, I thought. But everything else is outstanding.

No Raiders are anywhere near worthy of this book. Even at it's worst, Cloud Atlas is better than the festering non-stop shit stream that that terrible, off-putting, garbage organization fields each week.

My mother-in-law is a Raiders fan (grew up in Oakland) so I hear worse than that every Sunday. I don't think he's too off the mark.

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.

Contemporary American literature and the ascension of sincerity over irony as a cultural dominant. It sort of makes sense in my head. Three major literary subjects are: Wallace, Junot Diaz, Karen Tei Yamashita. Then there's an early chapter that just sort of traces the history of "The New Sincerity" through American culture since the 1980s, looking at music, film, television, philosophy. Then the last chapter is going to be on the internet and podcasts or something.

It's ok. You and about 10 million other people enjoyed that book. But it was nails on chalkboard for me.
