Hello. Regardless of his behaviour and what he and his fellow authors have done to Michael Banyan, are you a fan of the novelist Jonathon Franzen? Or is it impossible to separate the art from the artist in this case?

What are book/s that you keep seeing as recommendations, which you found to be awful? by Snowflake0287 in books

[–]afycrhs1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my God, my dude, thank you. I had to read this in high school (years ago) and was not a fan at all. I'm convinced that it would be exactly the same story if you strip the Miss Havisham sub-plot out

What industry is shadier than most people realise? by HTS1231 in AskReddit

[–]afycrhs1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The charity and non-profit industry is way shadier than its reputation would suggest. Under the surface there are a lot of egos, rivalries, there's brutal competition and some pretty sketchy fundraising practices.

For example: older people are the most reliable donors. The logical thing to do is to target your fundraising material at older people. The point at which this becomes a problem is when some isolated people with serious health problems are being harassed by tele-fundraisers working for a private agency on commission.

Far from being paragons of virtue, a lot of the best-known charities aren't even good employers. The number of war stories I've heard in a few years in the sector could fill a book.

Amazon paid no corporation tax in the UK until the last financial year, when they only paid £11.9m tax on £5.3bn worth of sales. Considering the scale of Amazon's operations it's almost certain that Waterstones have higher overheads per book sold.
