I am currently reading
More Now, again by Elizibeth Wurtzel
It is a memoir of addiction
We start out in Florida where she hasn't quite admited she may have had a drug problem, and her doctor has perscribed her ritalin to help her with her depression to give her motivivation. She is in Florida to get away from New York where she lived and was using cocaine and heroin. Instead of using the Ritalin like she should, she ends up crushing it and snorting it to the point she is using up her perscriptions faster then she should. She starts to subsitute cocaine for ritialin and soon she is completely consumbed by an eight ball and 40 pills a day habit, sleeping with a married man, missing photo shoots and deadlines, and doing her drugs in front of her friends because she is tired of hiding her habits. She finally admits herself to Silver Hill and starts rehab. This is where she begins to learn why she fell into this self destructive pattern.
Overall the book is probably an 7 out of 10. I give it a low rating because it will only be interesting to anyone who has an addiction or perhaps has known someone. Anyone else may not care to read it. At times the author disolutions her readers with her own madness even though she admits she may be a little off her higher opinion of herself can alienate the people looking towards the book for help.
I haven't finished it so I can write more later but I think it is a good jist.
Some facts about the Author
She attended Harverd where she was caught for plagerism. Wrote for the New Yorker Has three best selling books: Prozac Nation Bitch More Now, Again. Went back to Yale to get her law degree.
A rather drama queen like type i would say, but a beautiful women by many standards.
