the book cover, tell me about it! hehe  the book is very enticing too, makes me want to jump back into the world of junk even just for a second. i started reading it to kind of live vicariously through the text. and its sort of working. i just grin & giggle some of the writting is still very relevant to present day..
i will check out Queer, and also im thinking about reading Naked Lunch

GOOD job ellen, keep it up!

Surround yourself with people that will support your sobriety ...or semi-sobriety. Really glad to see you're doing better.

hey Ellen

"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

Hey yeah, don't let that shit keep you down.
I was there you have my sympathy. Smoke alot of weed if you like weed, I went mushroom hunting (it is a very involved hobby which is great for post withdraw boredom) which has been quite rewarding and got me interested in this site.
Keep it real, stay off the junk

when i got the book i was under the impression that it was a fictional story about a character, but the more i read it seems more like a biography of the author's junkie days. i saw the movie Naked Lunch, im sure the book is better
The movie is more about how the book was written. & yes, Junky is semi-autobiographical. I sent ya a about it. Enjoy 
yeah, naked lunch, the book, is more or less the rantings of an amphetamine loaded writer secluding himself with a typewriter and his psychosis
a friend of mine was reading through yearbook dedications recently, and one was from a teacher who gave a list of authors to read, one was, "and William S. Burroughs.... but not too much"
