I think he wants to be a celebrity and he wants people to buy his book.

he sells and promotes his book.

He has a book coming out I think. Publisher's PR likely.

kzrdude | karma 11414 | avg karma 2.35 · | 2019-09-17 21:50:29+00:00

He's just released a book, I wonder how it is set up, can he earn the money from it or not?

He is a guy selling his latest book

He’s trying to sell a book.

Do you think he should have recommended a book that was otherwise hard to get? I think people here, after reading this article, would have thought it ridiculous that the book wasn't available on Amazon.

My guess is that it is legitimately was his favorite book (he's known for his voracious reading and recommendations) and he wanted it to be read by a lot of people. So he pitched it to the publisher and the WSJ to get it done. I don't see what's so bad about that. I hardly think he's motivated by money or fame right now.

He wants us to buy the book!

I would take him more seriously if he didn't want to sell a book.

Right: The author is saying things so you'll buy his book.

netcan | karma 15606 | avg karma 3.16 · | 2011-05-26 02:22:54

People who buy his books?

coldtea | karma 86593 | avg karma 2.38 · | 2016-09-17 18:55:21+00:00

AND also sells millions of books to people who just want to read what he says.

watwut | karma 13879 | avg karma 1.1 · | 2014-05-13 18:19:41+00:00

He claimed he wants to release them right after the book goes public. The book went public.

hisham_hm | karma 869 | avg karma 5.11 · | 2014-02-19 03:27:35+00:00

Does he have any books published? I'd buy it.

logicalmind | karma 1008 | avg karma 2.93 · | 2010-01-12 11:53:46

And that guy has a new book to promote.

raelmiu | karma 41 | avg karma 0.53 · | 2020-12-08 10:06:58+00:00

Honestly, I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory or a crappy way to sell his book, I just really want this to be true.

thghtihadanacct | karma 279 | avg karma 0.71 · | 2023-06-27 08:53:02

Biography for a guy currently burning himself in the news? How much is he paying to get this written and are there really people out there that will purchase it?

forensic | karma 3039 | avg karma 2.97 · | 2011-08-21 23:47:29

Does he have a book coming out or something? Why the sudden PR?

ffggvv | karma 910 | avg karma 0.97 · | 2020-09-28 15:27:53+00:00

think he released a book

naww | karma 12 | avg karma 0.63 · | 2012-09-16 20:26:01+00:00

What about that book he is selling? Is that any good? Have some of you even read it yet?
