Fascinating, it reads like his books do.


But the whole time I'm reading it I'm like 'WTF are you wasting time on this for, you've got "another" volume to write!"

(I put "another" in quotes because there's no way he'd do it in fewer than 3 if he had 30 more years to live)


Then the final paragraph he reveals he's publishing his own memoir first? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
