Damn, I read a lot of *Drugs* books back in the day 😅
bailedI made about 80 pages into this true crime tale before my interest fizzled. The author is too much of a fraternity bro himself. Sorry, next! 🍻
so-soMaybe I was still in withdrawal from the Murdaugh murder trial of 2023 when I bought this, but it looked enticing. Alas, it mostly disappoints. The jacket copy misleadingly promises an insider's look at "bro culture" and the "gilded bubble" of contemporary Greek life, and how the "old boy" system is still alive and functioning in the South. But the narrative meanders and the crime story mostly felt humdrum. Juicy but ultimately insubstantial.

pickDark and comedic, and at times disturbing. I loved how Welsh has managed to develop such complex characters and humanise them, whilst also embedding political and societal issues in this tapestry of vignettes. The code-switching and use of Scots added another layer of richness as well. Might not be for everyone but it‘s a brilliant novel. 8/10
pickSuper original non fiction style, very well delineated, easy to follow, cool intro/overview of mckenna. Felt personally connected a bit more to both the author and the incredible world around me after reading. Totally matched the vibe of chasing the scream, emphasizing the complexity of drug use but also highlighting the transformations they can bring about in us.
#IdiomInsight Jerry Stahl was writing at an incredible pace , magazine articles, screenplays, television episodes. He was also doing drugs at an amazing pace. This memoir really stuck with me though I read it years ago .Stahl was definitely #InTheFastLane
pickAll the blurbs refer to this book as a thriller, and I was starting to wonder why when BAM! the plot went in a totally unforseen direction. Not many books make me talk out loud to the characters, but this one did. So wild and unexpected.
