A Million Little Pieces
Just read A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. I had heard a lot of the hype about this. I went to a Wayne Dyer workshop in Boston a couple weeks ago and he recommended it. Apparently, the guy "embellished" a few things in this memoir and didn't say so. He also used some quotes, most notably from the Tao Te Ching without giving proper credit. (Let's face it, unless you can read Chinese from 2500 years ago, you are reading somebody's translation which is copyrighted.) No matter, the story is fascinating and highly recommended for anyone struggling with addiction. It reminds me of Burroughs' Junky, but more coherent. I liked it so much I am going to read the sequel, My Friend Lenny.
