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’m a huge fan already. Loved The Power Broker and The Path to Power. Working and Means of Ascent were also very good. Highly recommend the documentary about him and his editor called Turn Every Page if you haven’t seen it.

Haven’t seen the doc, but NPR replayed an interview with him when the doc came out. I could listen to him talk for hours. Did he read any of his audiobooks I wonder?
