Lately I’ve read Nikki Sixx’s _Heroin Diaries_, which wasn’t quite as good as _The Dirt_, and currently inching along through a couple Robert Greene books for shits. Covered Robin Baker’s _Sperm Wars_ a couple months ago, which revolutionized the way I view relationships (from Tucker Max’s book list). Almost forgot to eat & go to the bathroom while reading it. What’ve you guys read that’s good? Looking to check out Cormac McCarthy next… ---

Heroin Diaries is a great book to read. I’ve read a lot of good books, but its not a good book unless you are interested in that subject. What kind of things are you into? If theres one book I can point you towards (besides the Da Vinci Code) it would be God’s in Every Man. A Roman Mythology book about psychology and sociology. Let me know what your interests are and hopefully I can point you towards a lot of good readings. ---

I’m in the middle of 4 books. _On the Road_ by Jack Kerouac (great) _Choke_ by Chuck Palahniuk (pretty good) _Why we Buy_ by Paco Underhill (great) _IV_ by Chuck Klosterman (meh… too much pop culture for me) ---

Heroine Diaries was really good. Under and Alone - ATF Agent infiltrated a biker gang in California (true story) Without a badge - Another ATF Agent infiltrates a drug ring and becomes a big drug runner A few more but can’t remember off the top of my head. ---

Rant by Palahniuk was flat-out Awesome. seemed like for a few books there, he was just trying to work the raunch as much as possible without deep plot development. Lullaby was good… but really, Rant is good :tup: keep 'em coming, good stuff already ---

I just picked up A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. This is the guy that pissed off Oprah after people found out his story about going through drug rehab was embellished quite a bit. Regardless, I still think it’s a good read so far. > **[A Million Little Pieces](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Million_Little_Pieces)** > > A Million Little Pieces is a book by James Frey, originally sold as a memoir and later marketed as a semi-fictional novel following accusations of literary forgery. It tells the story of a 23-year-old alcoholic and drug abuser and how he copes with rehabilitation in a twelve steps-oriented treatment center. While initially promoted as a memoir, it was later discovered that many of the events described in the book never happened. A badly tattered James awakens on an airplane to Chicago, with no ... ---
