addiction...

kind of an apt title for what i'm gonna write about tonight...

see i'm addicted right now to james frey's latest book : bright shiny morning...

ironically (or otherwise) james frey came to fame on oprah having gotten over a number of addictions and written a book about it (which to my surprise, she promoted as part of her book club) - the book in question, which i loved by the way, was called a million little pieces...

it's one man's amazing (if not at times, slightly unbelievable) story about his journey with addiction and how he came to get clean! heart felt, real, gritty, inspiring, in parts so sad it made you cry no matter where you were reading it...

anyway, so the one i'm reading now is his third book (there was a sequel to a million little pieces called my friend leonard) and his first novel! it's his usual style - minimal punctuation but good, can't put it down good, so good i chose it over trashy mags whilst having a pedicure done, so good i am tempted to read late into the night tonight and call in sick tomorrow...

but i won't!

anyway, it's good, read it!
