scrolling on this would go sooo hard

King is so obsessed with the Kennedy assassination he built a career imagining the magical forces responsible for it.

Everything I like in a biography. Well researched, detailed, expansive, and with a narrative questioning its central character's motivations.

Still, I wanted more. Hoover's career intersected with 60 years of American history, and I could have read a book on each decade.

I knew halfway through this was going to fuck me up. Wealth anxiety. Rapid pacing like Herzog.

However, having finished it, I'm left a little empty by what feels like a pitch for a soon-to-be TV miniseries.

1/5. Almost unreadable, only redeemed by how good Matt Damon is in the Martian. Every character is the same: sarcastic, quipping, competent. I think someone actually says “soo that just happened”. The story reads like an eighth grader’s first draft of a narrative. I’m good!

This book is consistently, disarmingly funny the whole way through. He’s really Not Sidney Poitier.

Has me even more excited for “James” , if it ever comes off my library waitlist.

One of the best I read this year. Manages to draw each character with incredible life. It gave me a new appreciation for modern art, and makes me want to see and collect it.

It’s also a rare book that can take a narrow subject and show you so much about history, power and taste.

going to rub this in someone’s face someday, idk who yet

Looking good out there
