They Call Me Supermensch

An interesting read about a crazy life, regardless of where the truth ends and the embellishment begins (at one point it almost sounds like he's going to claim being the cause of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty).

At the same time, this feels like a character study of a guy that seems nice and friendly but with a dark and bitter side that he either consciously or unconsciously avoids ever discussing. This is not a book with deep self-reflection or insight, any time it seems like it's getting close to something real he quickly sidesteps and talks about another difficult-yet-ultimately-successful deal.

But still, a lot of fun to read about ye olde days of the entertainment industry, from managing rockstars to traversing Cannes to ushering in a new cultural attitude to chefs.
