just got done with Blackwater by Jeremy Scahill. Very good. Just started 911 by Noam Chomsky. Its a good start, just a normal Joe interviewing him. Good reading.

Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx.
Really liked the part where he explains he had to inject the heroin into his dick and neck since he couldn't find veins in the rest of his body anymore. Nice.

I read that too one weekend (a quick journal type book). Sixx should have been dead a long, long time ago. I didn't realize he was the song writer/"brains" behind Crue - not that I was ever a huge fan. That being said, I do like his new single "Life is Beautiful" by Sixx AM

Another great book on personal destruction and MUCH better than Sixx's is Scar Tissue by Anthony Keidis of the Chili Peppers. Another guy, like Sixx, who should have been dead like 20 times :lol: . Insane fudge and a interesting read about all the Chili Peppers' demons.
