So close to done, the book is wrapping up nicely. Feels good to see the public rallying together to remove any mention of the Sackler name on buildings or in museums. Or anywhere for that matter. 30 pages to go but a lifetime of wonder at how this even happened in the first place.

This is the craziest book I’ve ever read. The way the author writes this is what makes it so good. I don’t usually read books this lengthy but the way it’s written makes me want to keep reading. So far I’ve read a ton about the life of Arthur Sackler the older brother of the three (Arthur, Mortimer, Raymond)

I’m utterly enthralled with this book and I just started it tonight. I can’t stop reading, so far it’s been mainly about Arthur Sackler’s life. He is one interesting guy. Probably the most interesting life I’ve read about, the creator of Nike Paul Knight is close second but this by far tops Paul.
