you are all terrible people, but that prompted me to a rather spurious purchase of nic sheff's "tweak". there's more to th title, but it's in the front stowaway somewhere. sheff was all new-yorker before trainwrecking if memory serves, so it's fairly well written. not my world by a long shot, but it's a good way to figure out the tweaked-out mind that once had something going, unlike a rose sister. for those of us who are never going to embrace that route, it's well-written and fairly illuminating, simply because i don't think he shot every synapse in his brain to shit unlike most of that cadre. airplane, beach reading. i'm now committed to reading a bunch of dideon. the year of magical thinking is the singular best book written if you've lost anyone period. forgot it in my must read section, not for everyone but just fucking good, if not niche
