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.

I enjoyed it and enjoyed being stretched as a reader (dealing with all of the voices, attuning to the world Saunders was creating and being okay with not understanding parts of the story only to have them fold out beautifully), but I don't think I would recommend it to many people.

I just started Saunder's A Swim in the Pond in the Rain. I've gotten through the first short story and am absolutely loving this book. So many people here should pick this one up.

Just tackling the final novella in Civilwarland myself.
