I was looking for a way to contact you directly, but I was wondering if you'd like a free copy of my book for an Amazon review? I'm a new author and it would be great to have feedback from someone that's read so much. You can see my book here: https://amzn.to/2XNzPik Thanks so much for considering.Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06860111612728239517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-50440899467412320202019-04-26T12:25:51.663-07:002019-04-26T12:25:51.663-07:00I went on a big binge on his work, early 90s inclu...I went on a big binge on his work, early 90s including his two autobiographies. Never got to everything and put him away for a few years. I think I kept most for re-reads.

I think I would need to invest myself in a different kind of book after reading something so dark.
