I read a lot of Heller and Vonnegut (and other men traumatized by war) around the same age. Heller stayed with me, too. (Most of them did.)

I'm so old I remember when Jeff #Bezos seemed like sort of a good guy who chose books as the focus of his clever new internet store.@gleick I remember when Amazon and Chapters launched, and one of the founders (I'm forgetting which) talked openly about how the publishing industry and the system of book store returns ran more or less on an honour system and was ripe for exploitation.
They were never good guys.
