a pretty funny, quirky read. i think andy warhol would have loved (and hated) modern technology based on his enjoyment of watching TV while multitasking; man was relatively aware of the effects of screen time on attention/memory even in the 1970s. fair bit of relatable and interesting tidbits about consumerism, labor, traveling, class, food, and art.
skipped over one of the later chapters because it was essentially just a monologue of a woman's cleaning routine, but all the other parts were relatively fast + easy to get through.

I really enjoyed this book as a teenager, today i read it and find it irritating, conceited.
I know there is some genious and art but its supported by post facto fame. If the artist had not been well known i am not sure he would have writ this text.

Part manic pixie dream girl handbook, part philosophy. It was probably more charming before the 2000s but still offers some interesting perspectives and I loved the format. What I liked most about it was how Warhol talked about creating and maintaining who he was.

Daft wisdom — the bookends of stories are kind of meh, but the middle proverbs!
