Read it AFTER trip to New Orleans, caught the references.
Though I read synopsis of it online before the trip and did
get a Lucky Dog at the airport. Twelve inches of paradise.
Do they say how the guy killed himself? I’m assuming he shot himself in the head? On the Harvard campus? What was he doing with a gun? Did he possess it legally or illegally? I can’t imagine Harvard students can legally possess a gun on campus. They have strict gun control laws in Massachusetts, don’t they? If they had only kept a gun out of his hands, this tradgedy would not have happened. I see a big lawsuit coming from this guy’s family against Harvard for allowing this to happen, for allowing this poor soul to have a gun. It’s not this guy’s fault, it’s Harvard’s fault for allowing him to have a gun. Harvard killed this guy, he did not kill himself.
NO KIDDING! Talk about pride.
Probably the only way this guy could ever get published. They say “publish or perish,” looks like he did both.

Shot himself on steps of church
What the hell ever happened to having a couple of cold beers and trying again in the morning.
I hope that you wrote a review of your trip on your Big Chief tablet! *smile*
...or in the morning,afternoon,and evening.
Asphyxiation whilst attempting to recite his suicide note in one breath.
I think he’d be in the running for a Heisman Trophy of a more tragic sort...
Oh, that’s so 20th century :)
Are they sure the 1900 pages wasn’t the financial reform bill
Congress should have hired him to write their bills. They’d be shorter and more coherent.
I looked at the noted, got through the first 10 pages, the guy was really messed up.
That dude rocks...and yet I’m not sure why ;) The commercials are funny.
My first thought was that is what he did for a living.
See. I told you it was murder trying to get a book published out there. :-)
In my opinion, anyone who commits suicide negates everything he has ever done. I might make an exception for cases like Van Gogh, who was most likely poisoned by the heavy metals in his pigments.
I will not voluntarily read a single word of this book.
lol
