I got Nikki Sixx's The Heroin Diaries for Christmas...I was finished on the 27th. For those of you who don't know Nikki Sixx, he's the bassist for Motley Crue. For those of you who don't know who Motley Crue is...fuck, Syd'll probably ban you. Anywho, the book is a collection of diaries Nikki kept between Christmas 1986 and Christmas '87, the worst year of his heroin addiction. Throughout the book is commentary by Nikki and various other folks who were there at the time, including the other members of Crue and Slash. The actual pages of the book are decorated with drawings and done in a unique graphical style. The book itself is completely engrossing, and you can't help but wonder how the hell the dude's around to talk about it. A definite read for fans of the Crue, and recovering addicts...would also be good for Just Say No and DARE advocates.
