It’s absolutely important to know the author before you read their books. I would much rather spend my time reading books from authors who are genuinely going to expand my knowledge or general thought processes. It’s seems this dudes entire goal is to subvert, so I won’t waste my time.

That's my point. You need to understand the enemy. That knowledge is priceless.
And again. Not trying to tell you what to do. And Im sure I will hate the books once I get around to them, but I have morbid curiosities in these matters
