Haha , thank you. I read way too much. Smack is a GREAT book. Definitely top 10. Melvin Burgess is an extremely talented writer.
and Hunter Thompson, he was a journalist. But a hilarious amazing journalist. Very satirical.

Yeah, even if it has nothing to do with drugs, I'm sure it will be a good read. I love his thought process on certain things.
When he was talking about how most speeders will "panic and immediately pull over" and that was "wrong" was hilarious.

I could never get into reading myself. I've always had a short attention span, but that's not saying I've never read a book before.
I read a book about the story of Nirvana, titled "Come As You Are." It was a good read.
The last book I read was about a fellow named James Frey called "A Million Little Pices." It was just a journal or a memoir of his stint in rehab. He was an alcoholic and c***k addict and it was just a writing of his memories in there. It was mostly full of cursing, incoherant ramblings, but it gives you a good insight on why you should never get into those things. Worth the read, although he was in some controversy not too long ago where some of his past criminal charges had been over-exaggerated, but that's not the point of the book of how much trouble he's been in with the law, it's about why hard drugs and alcohol can become bad, killer addictions, but it makes you think what else he made up in the book.
I remeber one part where he was in rehab and he had to go to the dentist for a root canal. If you're in rehab for drug addiction, sedatives or potent painfillers of any kind are not allowed to be given, under no circumstances. He went through a root canal with no painkillers at all during the procedure. I couldn't imagine the pian.
Anyways, that's all about I've read. In college last year I had to read a book called Medicine River for an english course and that was really, really...really boring.
I read a story about Iggy Pop as well. I can't remeber the name if it, but it was a good 300 pages, and one night I came home after doing b*** one night, heavily, smoked some weed and read the entire thing.The only part I can remeber is when he was in the Stooges and he whipped his dick out, set it on a guitar amp, and just let it bounce around.
I don't why I remeber that part, but it's still damn funny.

Just about anything written interests me except for science fiction. That's never been my thing. Unless it's medical science fiction, and then I'll tolerate it.
For the last five years, I've been going through a biography phase. I love to read about other people. One of the only bad things about being back in school--besides the commute--is the fact that nowadays when I spend time reading, it usually needs to be related to school instead of just for pleasure. I used to read two books at week at a minimum. Now I probably read more than that in volume. But it's assigned reading and not escape/pleasure reading.
