well I'm on page 95 and so far, it's pretty good. it's cool to read an authentic account of what daily life is like for a heroin addict. it's not overly dramatic or exciting yet, but it's been an easy and entertaining read. it's from a while ago, so it's dated....I'll holla back when I'm finished.

just finished it last night...I'd agree with Clem (and not just because I think he's cool) it was a nice read. pretty insightful, like I said before and shyt gets wild for him towards the end. I think you appreciate it a lot more if you've also read Burroughs' other works.

Thanks Subconcious & Clem. What other books of his should I check out first?
