I'm The Fortieth Ugliest Man In This

I Was A Jackass In Many Ways. I Projected That Cruelty Towards Others, That Kid Whose Hand I Was Wringing. If I Could Have Hurt A Hundred Weaklings - Weaker Than Me, And I Was Already Very Weak - I Would. I Was Dying To Hurt Somebody, To Pay It Forward.

I Was Really Not A Good Student, And I Felt That Shame Every Day. That's One Of The Reasons I Started Smoking Pot And Drinking Daily.

I Was Very, Very Sick When I Was Growing Up In Russia. The Ambulance Constantly Came To Our House. I Had Horrible Asthma That Is Easily Treated In America, But They Didn't Even Have Inhalers Back In Russia.

A Lot Of The Ways Of Advertising A Book - The Cover, Whether Somebody Sees It On A Subway Or Sees It In A Bookstore - Those Things Are Going To Rapidly Diminish As We Move To An Electronic Model.

I Have My Own Dying Empire To Contend With, And I Do Not Wish For Any Other.
